Things are going well............I realize that O'R needs some retraining as he has not remembered every thing we worked on last year........understandable, for sure ( neither have I !!) Redirecting is SO important...........i.e. tonight he was standing near me and panting and I quietly repeated " You go lie down.........you go lie down" .................and he did and fell asleep, sweet boy...........he just needed some guidence as he was......um.......shall we say................under the influence? :)
We've had a number of pop up storms this season ( very typical when one lives to the east of a major great lake !!)
Weather Underground is the best website I have found for accurate info and great radar maps that show storm direction and severity...........I have no problem giving him three 1 mg Clonazepam when a strong storm is approaching and I will administer 2 more after 2-3 hours if he is very anxious or if the radar tells me there are alot more storms coming..............I have never had to give him more than that in any 24 hour period...................and if the radar shows me a small passing storm I will not medicate him.............rather walk him, brush him and happy talk him through it
I want to reach a point where I can leave the house during a storm.............that is my goal.
