Piksa’s Progress: From Fearful to Confident on the Leash

Here’s our sweet girl Piksa practicing her leash training! 🐾 When we first started, she was so nervous and unsure of herself. Every step seemed like a huge challenge, but thanks to plenty of patience, encouragement, and, of course, some delicious treats, Piksa has made incredible strides! It’s been such a joy to watch her transform – this little girl is extremely food-motivated, and that has played a huge role in helping her gain the confidence she needed.

At first, even the sight of the leash made Piksa freeze in fear, but we took things slow, giving her time to understand that she was safe. With each training session, she began to trust the process a little more. Step by step, she started exploring the world on her walks, gaining more courage every day. Now, it’s amazing to see her walking with her head held higher, her tail wagging, and her eyes full of curiosity and excitement.

Piksa’s journey is a beautiful reminder that with patience, love, and the right motivation, even the most fearful dogs can grow into confident, happy companions. We’re so proud of how far she’s come, and we know she’s only going to continue to thrive! 🥰
