Engagement is the foundation of everything I teach. It’s that quiet check-in, the eye contact, the moment your dog chooses you over the environment. When your dog is engaged, they’re not just following commands, they’re connected, confident, and looking to you for guidance.
That relationship is what allows dogs to feel safe navigating the world with us, especially in busy public spaces. And when your dog trusts you enough to look at you like this, that’s where real progress begins.
So when you catch your dog just admiring you… make sure you thank them 😉
