New Site - and Molly Catch Up

July 1, 2009 -

First, I wanted to remind everyone that we'll be launching a revamped site soon, which will feature user profiles for you (and multiple pet profiles can be built under you so you can connect all your pets).

I'm really excited about this new site and I'm sure you will be, too. The improvements with how the profiles work alone (as well as many bug fixes) makes the site so much easier to play on.

Now, for those that are following the plight of Molly (or the saga of separation anxiety), I've wanted to catch up on her story. Since I last wrote, I've tried a number of the suggestions from our trainer, including practicing stay with distance, ignoring her before I leave and come home, and putting one of my shirts in the crate with her (along with a favorite toy).

I also heard from another colleague here that her behavior may also be related to dominance. So I've been working more on things like sitting before I release her from the yard, or going through the door after me.

I've definitely seen improvement, which makes me feel so much better. She just seemed so upset. Now she doesn't follow me from every window across the backyard as I walk through the house.

I know I'll need to keep working with her, but I'm thrilled to see something actually making progress.
