Bailey and I were a bit early to our meeting spot and waited for our walking buddies (his girlfriend Fleur and her mum!) in the shade.
To think, this boy wouldn't give me eye contact for the first 2 or 3 months of working with him, but now he comes and sits on my lap whilst we are out in public and comes to me for a reassuring cuddle 🥹 good things come with time 😌 him just settling in public by choice, not on command is a huge win and shows just how much he's settling into himself.
He's getting less and less reactive and when he does have a barky moment, his recovery time is almost instant now compared to his original 5 minute barky dance seeing another dog or human.
He's also not jumping (and hu***ng) the young people in the house anymore. He's really growing up 🙌😍
Patience, guidance, love, and positive reinforcement in whatever form the dog values it most is the recipie!
