Days

Day Day 1-2

Focus: Day 1-2

Reward eye contact. Every time Shiro looks back at you, treat.

Keep treats in your hand, not in the pocket, for faster rewards.

Day Day 3-5

Focus: Day 3-5

The 'Stop & Sit' method. When the leash goes taut, stop immediately and wait for a sit.

Be patient. It took us three whole blocks to make any progress at first.

Day Day 6-7

Focus: Day 6-7

Change directions frequently to keep him guessing where you go next.

Praise heavily when he chooses to stay by your side.
