Shout out to Dorthy on her first Day Camp day! 🐾
Dorthy came in for her very first Day Camp session and, while she is still a little shy, she is doing so good warming up! We are taking everything super slow and at her pace. Our goal is to make every new experience positive so she can build confidence and truly enjoy the process.
We discovered that Dorthy loves to use her nose, so we introduced a little scent work—and she did great! 👃🐶 Scent training is not only fun, but it also helps work different parts of the brain, which can help dogs relax and move out of that fearful or overwhelmed state.
By the end of her session, we already saw her beginning to relax more. This type of progress takes time, consistency, patience, and lots of positive reinforcement—but she is already headed in the right direction! 💙
She is also doing wonderful in small social groups with dogs that match her energy level, helping her build confidence in a safe and positive way.
This picture was taken at the end of our last session, and we are so proud of her progress already. Keep up the great work, Dorthy! 🐾
