Mister Rogue did fantastic today!
We have a couple of new tricks up our sleeves just now, but also Rogue is working out he can use his brain in the groom room, too!
We managed to come out of the fight/flight headspace today and got a lovely bath and most all of a blowdry! Usually, we hit a tricky spot where we need to stop during a bath, and blowdrying is usually well off the cards. But today, Rogue was able to show me all of his commands and how smart he is, WHILE we had the dryer on him. Naturally, we still had a couple of moments we had to navigate, but as we always say, progress is not linear.
We ended on a fantastic high note when Rogue chose to stand, with his ball, right in front of the dryer when he had the entire groom room to move away, and no bribes keeping him in place.
Fantastic progress, Rogue!
I'm so proud of you!
