Maverick has been making great progress around other dogs! We don’t necessarily need him to play with them, but he does need to be able to comfortably exist in their presence.
He’s getting close to the finish line with us. We’ve established a structured routine built on clear leadership, exercise, and permission. While structure doesn't outright "fix" every issue, providing a consistent lifestyle targets his insecurities directly. Knowing when he feels uncomfortable and stepping in to advocate for him goes a long way! We are building his trust that we have control of every situation so he doesn't have to be on alert.
Our goal is consistent, positive interactions, which we build right into his daily routine. Great things happen when solid leadership comes first!
Maverick 💯 agrees. 😎
