I just received the most fantastic comment ever about Jade from a total stranger! Jade is at the office with me today and we were just heading outside for a bathroom break when a delivery driver pulled up. Him and our warehouse manager both started petting Jade and the delivery driver started asking about what kind of dog she was etc. I proceeded to tell him her story, of her coming from Taiwan as a street dog just a few months ago. He then said the comment that made my day, "wow she seems really good with people is she good with dogs as well?" Yes he was referring to Jade who used to be terrified to let people, especially men, even come near her let alone touch her! Less than two months ago she was SO skiddish and nervous and would jump at even the smallest movements! I can't tell you how amazing that was to hear...Jade and I have been working very hard together to bond, build her confidence and work on socialization and it feels great to see such improvement! Pat on the back Jade!!
On another exciting note I signed Jade up for beginners agility classes today so she will start her first class mid September. I really think this will be a great bonding opportunity for us as well as tons of fun and exercise for her. I am hoping this will help her to look at me for direction when she is unsure, in new situations and for direction. I can not wait to start classes and will keep you updated on how they go!
