It's a good idea to spend more time with Gigi. She's part of your family and going for numerous walks will benefit you both. It is good labradors love food as that's how my friend trained her dog. I can let him off the lead and I'm sure he will come back for a treat. He's finally stopped pulling now but that sometimes comes with age. Training Gigi is a good goal to have. Dogs are great company.
Please don't be too hard on yourself. I expect you are still going to have rough patches but you've still achieved positive things this week. ❤️
Exactly and it's like a purpose in life. Yes, labradors love food and that's why it is very easy for me to train her. I can't let her off leash now but in the future, I guess with proper training, she will be fine. Another fact I noticed about myself is that, when I train Gigi, I completely focus on her and it's like something I wanna achieve now as a goal. I thought I cannot do anything but I can; it has to be something I like or want for now.
Yes, positive things also happen so I would say, treatment is taking me on the right track...
I agree. Dog training is a type of mindfulness. You can concentrate on something else instead of getting taken over by your own thoughts. I know you won't be able to let her off the lead yet, but you will get there.
