Butter is doing well this week. We’re still working on building her food drive up to where we want it, but she’s on track and getting a little more enthusiastic every day. Some dogs just take a bit longer for that to really click, and she’s moving in the right direction.
Even with the lower food motivation early on, she’s learning the structure, engaging with me more consistently, and starting to understand the core commands we’ve been introducing. Each session she warms up faster and puts in a little more effort.
Overall, she’s progressing exactly how I want her to for Week 1. Once her drive fully kicks in, she’s going to take off. Week 2 should show a noticeable jump in her confidence and clarity.
