Poppy spent most of the month off-site due to a turn-in for new friends and scheduled team trainings. While on-site, we focused on building foundational skills, especially around duration behaviours and perch pot work.
She’s showing solid progress in maintaining positions for longer periods, which will be critical as we shape more advanced skills. Her perch work is developing nicely—she’s gaining confidence and precision in foot placement, and this will transition smoothly into future AFD skills.
Poppy continues to be an eager learner with a great attitude. We’re excited to continue layering on more complexity in the coming weeks as her foundation strengthens.
We are incredibly thankful for your support of Advanced Dog Poppy III.
