Results

Yesterday's dance seems to have had an impact. Today, Koda is more relaxed and more relational. His general pace is slowed. He is less invested in doing the things he normally does to keep himself feeling safe. Nice.

BRING IT!


Did a really interesting piece of work with Koda today. I was working with him in a really precise way and he was being really inhibited, I got the idea to feist him up and that's when it happened. He brought it. He came at me FULL ON! He jumped at me, reaching my midsection, and while I was able to step out of the way and redirect him using the leash, I was able to see the REAL Koda, for the first time. And it was beautiful.

He is a formidable dog. A powerful, intense, and beautiful animal. He has my respect.

From here, all things are possible.

You girls better get ready, because Koda is going to bring you on the ride of you life.
