It was bound to happen; life got in the way of my blogging. Luckily, I have good news to report. I have been doing great on my food and have been to several holiday events and not eaten anything off program. I have done some smell checks on some baked goods, but that is about it. I am so happy with this new confidence around food especially during peak yummy food season.
The biggest thing that has happened in the past few days is that I had a dog behaviorist come to the house to work with me...and the dogs. For those of you who don't know, shortly after getting Jack, we were on a walk and he was attacked by another dog and has been fear aggressive ever since. I have been to dog trainers in the past but they have never been able to help me with this problem. The dog behaviorist I am now working with comes highly recommended. He specializes in aggression so it is a perfect fit. He worked with me for two+ hours and then we got Jack out and worked with him for 30-45 minutes. It was like I had a new dog!! I am not comfortable in my response time to start working with Jack and other dogs yet, but I am sure I will be ready by next week. It is amazing how they listen and respect me know. There is no walking ahead of me anymore while on walks. I am so happy!!! I am so excited for the days when we can take long walks past other dogs and not have it be an issue.
I will be posting about our progress as well as my Whole30 journey. I am so happy for the future :)
