Practicing our long (duration and distance) down-stays.

Using play to teach impulse control. Honestly I moved away from this way too soon, so we're brushing up. I've been stretching the breaks out in-between play reps. This was a 15 minute down-stay. (I don't know why the image is sideways)

Fifteen minutes, that’s impressive, especially using play to build it back in. That kind of duration under drive really says a lot about the bond and clarity you’ve built. Stretching the breaks like that is such a powerful way to cap arousal and teach patience. You can almost see them processing it, “I want to go, but I know I’ve got to wait.”

Also, love that you’re revisiting foundations instead of just pushing forward. That’s usually where the biggest leaps happen. Bomber’s looking locked.

15m down and stay is great! Is this at a soccer game?

Nah. Empty soccer field. Early this morning. Although, his behavior during the soccer games has been excellent.
