Hey everyone! This is the last session of my first day with Mojave (3rd session). This was GREAT progress. Thrilled with him starting to be OK with a smaller bubble. His reaction to touch is fantastic.

I apologize for the lighting! It was getting later in the day.

In this 15-20 minute session, we picked up right where we left off! I traded the rope for a stick and string, so I could have a more stable extension of my arm and stick with him if he moved around. There's a lot less draw but a lot of releases going on here! I explain why I sometimes keep the pressure on and don't release immediately.

I'm THRILLED with the progress in this session. A lot more calm moments where he's starting the think and process without feeling like he needs to move away.
