Phoenix checking in from behind the recliner like, “you gonna play or what?”
One of my favorite things to build with a dog is engagement that feels easy, natural, and fun. No pressure, no big production—just a dog choosing to come interact, bring the toy over, and start the game. These little moments matter. They build relationship, confidence, and the habit of choosing you.
And Phoenix? He’s getting pretty good at making sure I know when it’s my turn to tug. 😏
