Holt worked on his leashwork, recall and ignoring friends when on work. Sharing… not yours, when the treat is not yours! He treadmills today today, got some steps walking.

Holt worked in group, calling away from cheese and distractions to make sure he does not resource guard things. He also did touch drills, standing on his hind legs, sit work, more recalls and finished day with some e-collar work. Good day for this pup. Confidence has come way up!
