"[Charlie] was so hyper aroused he wouldn’t even take super high value treats from me outside, let alone anything else.
Fast forward now to spring time, and he’s been totally engaged with me and doing all of the steps of retriever games outside! He’s ignoring people and dogs walking by and staying focused on the game. If I tell him “go sniff” to take a break he just stays in front of me wagging his tail. I can’t believe it, actually might be in a bit of shock"
