Yesterday, Nalia joined me for a trip to Fool’s Kava House, and she showed everyone exactly what good manners can look like.
She calmly relaxed inside the café, greeted people politely, accepted pets, ignored distractions, and even spent time around another dog. No jumping. No pulling. No barking. Just quietly existing and enjoying the experience.
Halfway through, she earned herself a pup cup, and after finishing it off, settled in for a nice little nap.
One of my favorite parts of training is helping dogs learn that they don’t always have to be “doing” something. Sometimes the goal is simply being calm, relaxed, and able to enjoy the world around them.
Thank you to Fool's Kava House for being such a dog-friendly spot. We always enjoy visiting, and the pups love it too! 🐾
