Momma here....So When I got Cora I was in a pretty bad place, then got injured, and kind of spiralled. So I didn't give Cora the time and training she needed. We lived in basically "survival" mode. I hate that. Now I am realizing we are ok and the world isn't ending I am making up for lost time. I realized a lot of the interactions I had with her were during "dog chores" or just sitting on the couch. So she didn't trust me at all. And thats fair. So I started with coming home taking advantage of the excited time to do tricks. I put my phone down and paid her a lot of attention while watching tv. and even little things like this I see big improvements. She is rolling around on her back and requesting pets/belly rubs. Shes laying in my arms while I talk to her. And with canned food as a motivator she is trying new things. I am so proud of how she has blossomed in just a few weeks and how taking my focus onto her has made me feel better too. I feel like we could make a good sport team and we will have a good relationship going forward. Her she is napping peacefully.
