TRAINING TIPS:Phoebe has learned how to relax/settle w/distractions & is responsive to cues-GOALS🥳!!! Remember, if your pup can't do this w/no distractions, it's too big an ask to do w/distractions-build their skills w/practice & start w/low distractions, ⬆️as they succeed 😊

TRAINING TIPS:Toss treats PAST an unsure pup(cutie Barry)to help create a positive association as well as⬇️stress by creating distance 😊 *EXTRA STUFF TO NOTE*✔️out Barry's human recalling him when he notices he's unsure. After each recall, Barry comes a little closer to me, until he's comfortable to play find it. His human paid close attn to Barry's body cues & supported when needed.🥳*SUPER IMPORTANT* just b/c Barry approaches me & will play, does NOT mean he is asking to be touched!!! Respecting pups boundaries is the way to build confidence & trust😊
