A cardboard box became a confidence course: paws in, paws out, climb over, investigate freely.
Loose-leash progress is not linear. Today was messy, so we celebrated three connected steps at a time.
We practiced recall between two people in the hallway. The jackpot was cheese and unreasonable applause.
Reminder to myself: if she fails twice, make the exercise easier—not the cue louder.
Juniper offered eye contact around a skateboard for the first time. Distance and good snacks did the work.
Today's session lasted four minutes. Clear goal, great reps, finished happy. Short training is still training.
