So we have a dog in need of some serious training- I did the stupid thing of picking the shelter puppy that was cowering in his crate the dog they say to never pick because they will have fear issues- but his brother was all over you biting and Eli was so calm and cuddly. Anyways he of course has major fear issues that have not gotten any better and may have gotten worse. He has food aggressive problems, is afraid of men, barks at people walking and biking by our house (he is trained on an electric fence). He knows the commands sit, stay, shake, and come (but come only happens when he is inside and even then it is not always). The list of things we will be working on:
1. food and territory (territory is rare) aggressiveness
2. coming when called outside
3. greeting strangers
4. not barking at strangers
5. not playing biting
6. not jumping on strangers
The list two are not big problems and do not happen frequently. I am giving my self 50 days of dog training to see how many of these things he can make progress on before we have to hire a professional maybe? (note we did go to a dog trainer about his food aggressiveness for a 45 minute private session but only mildly helpful) also the 50 days are not going to be consecutive, hopefully i can stick to training at least 3-4 days a week
Day 1: 15 minutes of working on coming inside and out and while playing did excellent with this however he was very sleepy because he just woke up from a nap so prob contributed to success
Goal 2 is 50 days of running to get to 100 miles which will be consecutive, but I don't have to run everyday I just have to reach 100 miles in 50 days. I am counting yesterdays run as day 1 because I thought of this idea during yesterdays run on like the first or 2nd loop.
So Day 1: 11.5 miles
Day 2. No running very sore
Total: 11.5
