reactive husky spotted a skateboard and chose diplomacy tonight

Rex usually hits the end of the leash and sings the song of his people when wheels happen. We started a new class three weeks ago and tonight he looked, ate chicken, and kept moving. I almost cried on the sidewalk like a normal person.

What class are you doing? BAT style or more obedience-y?

Small local reactive dog class. Lots of pattern games and distance work, less correction stuff.

Take the win and don't panic if tomorrow is worse. Progress is rude like that.

Skateboards are final boss material for some dogs.

That first 'look then disengage' moment feels bigger than people realize.

A boring walk is the dream when you own a dramatic breed.
