I should’ve grabbed a video earlier in the day, but even the clip I filmed in the kitchen while my wife was making dinner shows exactly how well Charlie is doing. There were plenty of distractions — noise, smells, movement, and even another dog in the ex-pen right next to her — and she still chose to focus on training instead.
That’s a big win for Week 1. Her ability to stay engaged, ignore the environment, and work through distractions is already taking shape. She’s settling into the routine, understanding the communication system, and showing really solid potential.
Great start for her. Week 2 we’ll keep building on this and add structure and consistency to everything she’s learning.
