🐾 Why the Little Wins Matter in Dog Training 🐾
It’s easy to focus on the big goals, a perfect recall, calm lead walking, a rock-solid settle. But real progress often shows up in much smaller, quieter moments.
✅ The first time your dog checks in with you instead of scanning the environment.
✅ When they pause before reacting, even if they still get a bit wobbly.
✅ A smoother transition from play to calm, without the chaos.
These aren’t just “nice moments” they’re signs that your dog is learning, thinking, and feeling safer in the world around them. They’re the stepping stones to long-term behaviour change.
🎯 Behaviour is shaped by experience, repetition, and reinforcement. When we spot and reward the small wins, we build real-life skills that stick,and strengthen our dog’s trust in us along the way.
So if it feels like progress is slow, step back and look for these moments. They are the training.
