What soft, small high-reward treats are we using? Anything that doesnt require preparing or cutting up rolls? Lol

No, not talking about my maybe 3 or 4 or no idea how old Jess! Talking about me. Please excuse the waffle. I know why it took me a long time to discover "Walkys". I was busy getting old, being overly anxious about everything, and had the thought I should be able to do all of this myself. Apparently, I was wrong. And I'm ok with that. This training at home, didn't even know it existed. I thought you simply grab a dog, grab a lead, go walking. 🤷🏻‍♀️ It's been 2 weeks since Jess and I met @Matthew Marsh , 1 week since Jess's first day at the academy, Jess is much calmer and stays outside for minutes by herself (instead of seconds). While I attended the weekly "calm collective" Jess put herself in "place" that I only set up this morning and just now had some food nearly in her crate. Winner Winner 🎉 I am hoping the walking will get easier. Knowing now that the harnesses that I spent much money on were probably the reason of her pulling when we went for walks has been difficult. I am still not comfortable with the slip lead, let alone Jess be comfortable with it. But I'm determined to be a better person for Jess! Thank you everyone, Kat 🐾

Ok, so this is new, and well out of my comfort zone. But I thought why not. My name is Kathryn (or Kat), and for the past 6 months my house has been home to a lovely dog named Jess. She had a rough 3 or 4 years, but I'm determined to make up for them. I have just completed the course thingo and it mentioned to write on the community page. Jess started at Walkys academy 2 days ago and I can already see a difference in her walking, I know that is more to do with her new lead than because of me. There's loads of things I have no idea how to do, but in time I'll work on, and help Jess with them too. I think that's enough for an introduction, no one will want to read all the bad n boring bits.

Little Archie working through some sniffari games. Using some cones and every time Archie looks at them he gets a treat, then we encourage him to put his nose in them and treat release. After a few reps he was all over the game! What a little champ! @Maria Sirianni
