Old dog new tricks

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,
