Conflict training- learning more engagement exercises for the mind and body for Zeo, Rya and Rainer! Wall touches for stretching back and to work during distractions, “don’t eat stale garbage pizza (could be poison), ignore dogs and distractions and people! Sit on a toilet 🐾…. Work the carts, recall and small spaces. Lots of fun for a dog! Great job
