🐾 Samus’s Walk & Training Success! 🐾

Samus is a high-energy pup who needs a little extra exercise and enrichment compared to her housemates. When her mom’s busy schedule doesn’t allow the time, she trusts us to take Samus out for an excursion—and today, she crushed it! 🐕✨

We focused on:
✔️ Reinforcing leash manners and check-ins 🦮
✔️ Practicing a strong sit/stay while I snapped a few photos (look at this pro model 📸🐾 )
✔️ Also making sure to give Samus plenty of opportunities to sniff and explore her surroundings, which is fantastic for mental stimulation 🐾🌳
✔️ Settling in the car and holding a down/stay while traveling to and from the walk 🚗👏

Samus showed off her patience and skills beautifully, making the whole session a joy. Great work, Samus! 💪🐶

Helping dogs like Samus thrive with structure and positive reinforcement is what it's all about. 💕 If you're looking for personalized care or training support for your pup, reach out—we’d love to help!
