Morwenna has been in her new home for a few days now, and every single day I’m getting rave reviews about how well she’s doing.
Her new partner, Rufus, historically did not like puppies at all. His owner had spent several years trying to find the right companion for him. Rufus also struggles with severe separation anxiety, to the point that she hasn’t been able to leave him alone for years.
I told her I would keep a puppy back for her, complete all of the foundation training, and then have Rufus come stay with me so I could work on building their bond the right way from the start.
Morwenna has transitioned beautifully, and all of her training is holding strong. She will stay in a place command for over an hour without issue. She walks alongside Rufus beautifully on leash. She even attended Pilates class and calmly held her place stay while everything was going on around her.
For a 4½-month-old puppy, she is absolutely phenomenal.
This may very well be one of my favorite projects yet. I love puppies, and I know what they’re capable of with the right structure, expectations, and training. Morwenna has truly validated my methods and expectations, and I could not be happier or more proud of this little dog.
