Kiko, I apologize for the very little attention you will get on this blog entry. I promise to focus on you more in tomorrow's entry. You were just completely overshadowed by Poni today...there was no getting around it.
After several days of very slowly introducing Poni to new dogs, he was able to join the group today for play. No barriers, no leash...just Poni. He was shy at first and was a bit hesitant but that didn't last very long.
Going at his own speed he was able to approach dogs when he felt comfortable
The dogs were good and read his body language well so they didn't overwhelm him.
These were breeds that he has not had much contact with at my house so it's all very new to him.
There were times when he was more brave sitting on my lap. That's fine. When he was brave I praised him a lot and I kept everything very light and fun so he would know that I wasn't worried.
This is such a huge step for Poni! He made my day today!!
I was really pleased to see that he was actively involved with the other dogs. It's ok if he doesn't want to play with them but very exciting when he does choose to play with them!
And seeing him initiate play with other dogs was HUGE!!!
It was worth a good toy shake!
A very happy sight indeed...
Careful, Poni, people might start thinking that you like those other dogs.
