Pepper doing some necessary “chill mode”, not allowed to chew leashes, be destructive just chill. She does this when we have paperwork and computer logging to do. Windows theory… she is on the calm/chill window while we are nearby busy. Not “find your own fun”. Sinking in!

Pepper got schooled on a neighborhood walk where we preset distractions for her. A few distractions and reminders and she was top notch on her leash work.

Pup playtime, learning how to be socially stable, call away from other dogs, play at same level. Some learning in their group how to handle it, Axel and Elsie in muzzle, new experience for them. Zalina, Leo watching in their private spot- learning patience. Baker and Gus- white sheps hung out and all had a great time. Worked on not gate crowding, and place while all friends are having a fun time too! Playtime can be work time too!
