Training

Jasmine is getting some training along with Otis, my dog.  The two of them have not been introduced YET but will be soon.  Right now they are becoming familiar with one another's scents and receiving yummy treats when they see one another from a distance or through the door - positive association.  Both of these dogs are "dog selective" - meaning they don't get along with ALL dogs but they have their friends that they enjoy playing with until the sun goes down.  Both dogs have dominant personalities but they are opposite sex so that is in their favor.  Looking forward to introducing them soon.  Managing them - rotating them throughout the day so they get my attention is quite exhausting.  I also have a cat - don't think Jasmine should be around cats.  She gets excited but I'm not sure I trust her - she may want to play but she may want a treat.  Otis and the cat on the other hand get along swimmingly.  Otter (the cat) keeps Otis in line.

Thank you Best Friends Animal Sanctuary and everyone else who is helping out with Jasmine's welfare.
