## How it’s going

### Case status summary

- Diesel came in with one bite (a visitor's hand, August, one puncture) and two near misses. Over the 14 days his calm distance to leashed dogs shrank from 60 ft to 20 ft, and he held place for doorbell guests. Home practice is going well (place every doorbell rep, look-backs at 40 ft); follow-up 1 is Oct 27.

### Closest calm distance to dogs

**Handler plan: the exact triggers**
- **Doorbell and guests:** send Diesel to place before you open the door. Guests ignore him, no reaching over his head.
- **Dogs on leash:** keep 40 ft or more for now. Cross early, reward every look back.
- **Strangers reaching:** say “he’s in training” and step between.

Work each one 5 minutes a day and log it here.
