Grandma to the rescue

Once I understood that the street is a bit overwhelming for Seraphina, I decided to take advantage of the fact I have a well balanced pack and use Bailey as a role model while walking the street.

When she saw that Bailey is walking the street without fear it really helped her to feel more confident, and it was improving all the time during the walk. she fell comfortable enough to pee and poop and even to say Hi to a super nice stranger

I already know (and so do you) that she is a bit more sensetive to the noises from the road so I was super happy to see that she was even able to calm down much faster despite the noises of the cars. I was constantly communicating with her and rewarding her for attention and we played a bit with the leash, and I can really see how playing with the leash and running with high energy helps her to calm down and enjoy more so I understand I should do more of that and keep the high energy as much as possible.

This walk was a lot of fun for me but also not the easiest because I was filming from my glasses and had to make sure I look to the right place all the time without bumping into things :)

We walked for a total of 15 minutes and she was super tired when we got back home.

Later in the day we had our first training with music sounds and the little girl was funny about it. She was trying so hard to understand what that weird sound is and how it's possible that it's coming from a tiny box :)

I tried to work with her only on basic stuff until I felt she is good enough to try some higher level like luring. Honestly, I am not in a hurry to teach her anything. the only thing I care about is that she will feel as good as possible about herself no matter where she is at and whats going on around her.

Once we finished with the food I wanted to check if she is able to play with the toy while the music is playing and we had a lot of fun running, tugging and playing together. but I definetly need to improve my shape because I feel so tired everytime after I play with her... I guess I really didn't remember how much energy it takes to play with a pup.

At night I decided to try and introduce her to more variations of targets (so far she only did 4 legs) so we attempted the front paws and rear paws targets and she did great!

We played a bit with the toy from the day before and finished our training with some social time, which for me is the MOST important variation of communication.

I think that for any sport type or any life you want to live with your dog the far most important thing is that your dog would like to communicate with YOU and not with what you have in your hands. So it was so much fun to just being silly together and enjoying the REAL communication.

I love this crazy girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
