We can have a training plan in mind but it's the dog who will tell us if the plan is good or not. Don’t be afraid to move back a few steps in your training plan and ask for less at any point. Work with whatever you have in front of you. Looking back at the video you've made, you might realise whose mistake that really was.

Focus on what you can give, even if it seems small. It’s not small for the individual you gifted. Seeing the dogs happy makes all the difference! Think about the fabulous time you can give those dogs that you can take out. Focus on the value you can provide. You can be a highlight of their day, it’s worth a lot!
