Maple discovers the joys of the train, the busier parts of Boston, and Chinatown! ππ
The name of the game today was EXPOSURE and I couldn't be more proud of this little lady! No worries at all about the trains, all tail wags in the city, and just having an amazing outing! She's very much still a puppy, but showing off her skills including snoozing on the train like a real pro π€
Maple turns 6 months this weekend and in total she has maybe 3 obedience cues and a couple tricks, and thats it! In combination to her excellent temperant thanks to her breeding, we have also been following a very slow and steady training plan with this girl setting down a solid foundation of socialization, good manners, and management skills to get us through adolescence in one piece! This trip shows just how much that is paying off since she did so amazing making good choices, taking in everything, and even doing a couple minutes of easy heelwork practice (video at the very end) ππ»
