Since we have been training with Nala, she has shown improvement in walking in the heel command and extended sit and down. Nala has also gotten better at coming when called. Although Nala is doing good things in her training, she is struggling with fearfulness towards strangers. On one occasion Nala barked at two people with bikes in front of the door at the salon. Nala was able to regroup and continue training successfully and we are working on building her confidence around public spaces.
