I'm so excited. Hopefully I have enough to make a good fermented hot sauce with by the end!

I've been reinforcing her training regarding reactivity, which has done wonders for taking her out in public and her being _way_ less vocal than she was when she was younger. I find now that when she really wants to bark at someone or something after I've said "quiet", she reaches out for my hand to grab as a way to cope or soothe her urge to bark and it's so cute. Here, she kept being reactive towards the landscaper, and I had to tell her "quiet" so she knows they aren't a threat.

She already knows "high five" and "handshake", but she requests one from me when she is needing a distraction to stop herself from barking. She constantly reaches out for my hand lol. She even does this in public 😩💜.
