Skye is right on track with her sister. She actually came in a bit more unfocused and impulsive than Gaia, but she’s figuring out the training system and settling into the routine really well. As soon as she realized there’s a structure to everything — and that her choices matter — she started to really lean into the work. Her engagement is improving, she’s showing better impulse control, and you can see her starting to actually enjoy the training process. Overall, great progress for Week 1. She’s turning that initial chaotic energy into focus and effort, and she’s getting more confident every day. Week 2 should show a big jump for her.

I hope you guys all had a fantastic day and a great weekend ahead with friends and family. I dug up this old video ad I made for facebook I thought you all would get a kick out of. I had to train my dog to jump on the table to do this. He was so skeptical because he knows without a shadow of a doubt that he is NOT allowed to even sniff at food on the table. 😅
