Max and Tiger got leash work training then a bath outdoors in the sunshine and practice staying on place while drying. Place training can be done with cues on the e-collar to return to cot, and we place them on a longer tether so they can make the wrong or right choice. This makes place training reliable in the house and when distractions happen.

Tired tiger after morning training! I think he's planning how to get more treats in the next training session.

Tiger’s confidence building and he is having longer sessions of engagement but still acts worried. We are getting there day by day.

Tiger settling in for his first day. From scared and tuned out, to relaxed and observant, listening. Hang out time helps with adjusting to training. 6 months and we are getting on a better learning track!
