Despite what the photos show, Jasper spent most of his visit being quiet and still. It took a minute, but once he saw me wielding the Controller his brattiness vanished. There was no more backtalk, no teethy arguments. Once reminded that expectations would be enforced, he had little trouble meeting them. We dressed and went for a nice little cul-de-sac recess where Jasper got to get some zoomies out. I swear, if unleashed he would have run all the way to the next state. 😆 As it was, he bounded and climbed and chomped for a few minutes and then back inside to place and settle. Then out again to play in the yard, and back in to place and settle. Having the controller visible to him made more difference than actually using it, and that’s already next level progress.
