John did an excellent job providing specific examples. He gave me plenty of time to talk through the response before attempting a training technique. I did notice Nyah showing me more respect and responding quicker to her commands at the end of the first session. I was very pleased. My biggest fear is doing harm to Nyah or crushing her spirit. Nyah is still Nyah, sassy and funny as always just manageable now. It was very interesting to see Nyah's response but given my dynamic with Nyah and my own fears as well as my giving Nyah human feelings, I was anxious throughout the session. John has been extremely patient with me and was quick to understand what my goals are with Nyah. He also picked up quickly how maternal I am towards Nyah and how this is affecting Nyah's happiness and behavior. She is better adjusted now after 3 weeks of training.
