October 2025 ➡️ February 2026

What made the difference?

1. Exercise. He wasn't getting enough.

2. Clear communication. Leash, e-collar, verbal cues, and my body language - all to make sure he has enough information.

3. Practice. So, so much practice.

Because being CALM is a SKILL.

It requires practice.

Practice being still, without additional stimulation (like chewing on a toy or being pet).

*And if your dog really struggles with this, do it AFTER they get enough exercise and mental stimulation. Always set your dog up for success when you can!

A couple notable changes: classes are now 45 minutes (to better accommodate doggy attention spans), and the full program is only 6 weeks (to better accommodate human schedules).

Sometimes there's a lot of value in going slowly. Especially when it means earning a dog's trust and building their confidence. Because sometimes then you get days like this: where a dog can do something that was UNTHINKABLE for his owner not that long ago 😍

Day 31 of doing the things I tell my clients to do: warm up edition.

Because Moose ALWAYS needs a warm up.

(Posting this a day late because life occasionally gets in the way of social media 🤷‍♀️)

Practicing being calm while out and about 👌

This is ESSENTIAL of you want your dog to chill when you go to a coffee shop or restaurant!

Moose helped with group class every Saturday 😍

I'm so grateful to have a dog who can be a helper - and who actually LOVES it 🥰
