Doug’s progress report!! 🐾
In the first clip, Doug and I were hanging out in a spot near some other dogs. I wasn’t asking much of him because I wanted to see what he did when he could make his own choices. My only expectation was that he didn’t try to approach the other dogs without permission. Even just a week ago, he would have been losing his mind at the sight of those dogs. This time, he was content to just watch them.
In the second clip, we went to the mall (where he had never been). After walking around, we sat for over an hour so he could watch the world go by and learn he didn’t have to be frantic. The clip of us walking is right before he left, where he was much more relaxed and tuned in with me. Doug is crushing it!!
