Today was all about Maya.
This beautiful girl is one of the bravest dogs I know. Not because sheâs fearless, but because every step she takes is despite her fears.
Until recently, Maya wouldnât venture past the front door. The world outside was simply too overwhelming. New sights, sounds, people, and experiences were all incredibly daunting for her.
Maya isnât motivated by treats like many dogs. Instead, she responds to patience, reassurance, affection, and knowing she is safe. So thatâs exactly what we give her.
Todayâs walk was taken at Mayaâs pace. Plenty of stops, lots of encouragement, and absolutely no pressure. The best part? She has started reading the doggy newspapers! đđ°
For those unfamiliar with the term, thatâs all the wonderful sniffing dogs do when theyâre exploring the world and gathering information. Every sniff is a little confidence boost and another step towards feeling comfortable in her surroundings.
Seeing her choose to investigate, sniff, and engage with the world is a huge milestone. Progress isnât always measured in miles covered or how fast we go. Sometimes itâs measured in a nervous dog stopping to sniff a hedge and deciding the world isnât quite so scary after all.
Keep being brave, Maya. The Ultra Paws family is proud of you. â¤ď¸đž
