Finn

1:27

"He's so uncomfortable" — day one, nothing asked

3:46

Still shut down. The room, the couch, a person, and waiting

2:21

Louie shows him what place looks like

5:35

Toys out, tools out — nobody asks Finn for anything

2:13

Start with freedom: "you also like to explore a little bit"

10:25

"Very different from the Todd of yesterday" — what a day of progress looks like on another dog

24:36

The obligation is minimal: a collar on top, and that's all

25:53

27:25

"A little tiny pressure" — the smallest ask that still means something

0:19

First time out. "He will bolt" — two lines, a backup collar, the e-collar in front

0:23

Getting him out of the crate

1:23

"Very difficult to get him back" — so start with the basics, out here
