definitely good advice.
Spooky dogs make irregular progress, this thing gets better, that worse;
this gets a teeny-bit better, that's unchanged. A log can be very simple, but marking what happens
will make understanding & predicting her behavior much easier, plus it makes PLANNING her next step
much, much easier.
remember to go At The Dog's Pace;
'The faster i go, the behinder i get.'
U cannot hustle B-Mod; each challenge takes as long as it takes, & every dog is different.
