## How it’s going

### Maple stay progress

- Maple's goals: loose leash, sit for greetings, wait at doors. Over the 7-day stay she went from pulling on every smell to a fully loose-leash trail loop, solid door waits and mostly sitting for greetings. At home, door waits hold, greetings are mostly sits and leash fades after 10 minutes. Follow-up lesson 1: Oct 26.

### Daily home practice

- Oct 21, 2026: 20 minutes, Oct 22, 2026: 10 minutes, Oct 23, 2026: 15 minutes
