A new month often comes with new goals, plans, and expectations — but progress doesn’t have to start with pressure.
Starting with compassion creates space for learning, growth, and trust — for both you and your dog.
Compassion might look like:
- Adjusting goals to match where your dog is right now
- Allowing rest without guilt
- Meeting hard moments with curiosity instead of frustration
- Choosing support over speed
Training rooted in compassion doesn’t move slower — it moves more sustainably.
💬 As we start this month, what does your dog need more of?
More rest?
More clarity?
More enrichment?
More confidence?
More patience — from you or from themselves?
There’s no wrong answer. Starting where your dog is is the work 💚
