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 🐾
