Piper has struggled with reactivity on walks, so today we worked on engagement before the trigger appeared.
The goal isn’t to pretend other dogs don’t exist. The goal is teaching her that she can notice them and still choose to check in with me
Was it perfect? No.
But she stayed engaged, made good choices, and recovered quickly. That’s progress.
Training isn’t about perfection. It’s about building better habits one repetition at a time.
Good job, Piper! ❤️
