Today, I went on a wonderful walk with Mirabelle around my new neighborhood. The last few days on our walks, she had been startled by a dog barking at a specific corner and today she heard the dog barking, and instead of getting nervous she looked up at me! I told her she's a good girl and of course I gave her a treat! Mira loves her treats. Seeing this improvement makes me feel more confident walking around the block and I cant wait to go on another one tomorrow! She was so tired after her walk she walked over to her crate and fell asleep! Use a similar template to make your posts. Title your post with what week you are on in your training and tell us all about what challenges you are facing and what's going well. Don't be discouraged if you and your dog are at a different level than other owners. Every dog learns at their own pace. In fact so do humans!
