Trainer Insight
Dory was a bright young Yorkie who needed clear expectations, repetition, and consistent follow-through to help her understand what was being asked of her. Because she was still young, much of the training focused on building engagement first so she could stay connected and responsive during obedience work. As Dory gained confidence, her listening improved, and she became more willing to follow through with commands. Her progress showed that with structure, patience, and continued practice at home, she has a strong foundation to keep building on.
