I love my Luke Skywalker updates 😍
Luke is our wild child (dog) — the one who pushes the limits any chance he gets! 😂❤️
We’ve spent the last 2 and a half years going to doggie school and working with his amazing trainer, Liz & North Star Canine . Luke is reactive toward other dogs, but we’ve reached a point where, as long as he knows where the other dogs are, he does amazing!
Last night, we walked to the store, just a short walk from home that’s usually pretty uneventful. But last night was different. Three different dogs surprised Luke at very close distances.
And guess what? His training took over! 🙌
He looked at each dog (engaged), then quickly looked forward and continued walking (disengaged). Then he looked at me for guidance. I reassured him with our “on by” cue, and he just kept right on walking!
GO LUKE!! 🥹❤️🐾
Training a reactive dog and a wild beast 😂can be challenging, and it’s not always perfect. There are good days and bad days, but moments like this remind us just how far they can come with time, patience, and consistency.
Don’t give up! Keep practicing from a distance where they feel comfortable, celebrate the little wins, and trust the process. ❤️🐾
