I can't believe it. I'm just so unebelievably grateful. I love my dog so much. She's a 1 year 5 month old spunky stubborn French bulldog and my bff.

Wasn't fully potty trained for a year - so draining. But now almost never an accident for months even in new places!! Her recall is mostly reliable even at the dog park. We play and hang out and cuddle all the time. She knows to settle when im at my desk. Walking and leash reactivity around dogs we continue to train but are miles above where we were. She knows how to settle around guests now and even when she gets riled up, I ask her to do some tricks and she pays attention fully on me until she is calm. I've changed too. I don't freak out when she throws up or if she has a potty accident. I don't get as impatient on walks. We practice and use pos reinforcement all the time. I haven't yanked her leash once since she was a puppy and I felt so badly. We have a system and a schedule for most things and we trust eacother. I barely even crate her and she gets to free roam while I'm gone out of the house for up to 5 hours!

We've gone through a lot together. Puppyhood, obviously. My ex partner and her co-owner moving out. Me getting a hybrid job. She's adaptable and so I am I. I never thought I'd get there. She took longer on a lot of things than most but our consistency really paid off. And now I hope I have my best friend for a long time 🥹. I really thought I'd have to re-home her a few months ago. Now I can't imagine ever losing her
