Today Haley’s first training session took place at the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I introduced and began building a foundation in the Off, Break, Come to sit, Extended sit, and Heel commands. She was highly reactive to bikes, skateboards, and other dogs, but we used them as great training tools. This was a great first session!
