Love celebrating this girl.. it’s so easy! D4 Canine Academy still has one more spot left!
💜 MORGYN’S TRAINING UPDATE 💜
Today was one of those sessions that reminds me why personalized training matters.
Morgan has a pretty significant threshold issue, so we’re working through new surfaces, spaces and situations one little win at a time. 🐾
Today’s big goal was PLACE.
Our original plan was to use the raised training cot… but Morgan took one look at it and said, absolutely not. 😂 Instead of forcing the issue, we adjusted. We started with a bed flat on the floor, built her confidence, and worked through it together.
And she GOT IT. 👏💜
Morgan is learning that “Place” means: go to your designated spot, settle there, and stay until I release you. It isn’t just about laying on a bed—it’s teaching calmness, boundaries, impulse control and how to switch that busy brain OFF when we ask her to.
Once she had place down, we moved outside and finished our session working on loose-leash foundations, including a few of our walking drills and sitting for access instead of pulling or rushing toward what she wants.
The biggest thing with Morgan? We aren’t racing her. We’re building confidence while still giving her structure. The cot will come. The thresholds will get easier. And every little success we stack today makes the next one easier. 💜
One dog. One plan. One day at a time. 🐾
