My Day 5 Challenge! Any Surprises?

Here are some conversation starters:

What was the most surprising behavior you observed in your dog during the sensory-heightened experiences? How did you adjust your approach to stay in the green pathway?

Can you share a moment when you felt a breakthrough in your dog's top-down processing? What specific adjustment led to this success?

How did incorporating balance exercises impact your dog’s overall behavior and emotional state? Have you noticed any long-term changes?

Describe an instance where your dog’s bottom-up processing seemed to dominate. What steps did you take to shift towards top-down processing?

Which sensory inputs did you find most effective in promoting positive behavior changes? Were there any sensory inputs that were less effective or counterproductive?

How has understanding the difference between bottom-up and top-down processing changed your approach to your dog’s behavior management?
