Between Sessions

Training happens in tidy sessions. Real life does not. The walks, the surprise dog around the corner — that is where progress quietly leaks away unless you manage it.

Training happens in sessions, but reactions can happen anytime. So set a simple goal for the gaps between: zero blow-ups.

Not zero forever — just zero outbursts on the days you are not training. Manage the environment, keep your dog under threshold, and let the calm reps add up faster than the slip-ups can tear them down.
