Celebrate three weeks of gentle progress. Brush the full outer surface routine. Your pet has come a long way.

If your pet is comfortable, extend the session by 30 seconds. Focus on thoroughness rather than speed.

Start brushing from the opposite side today. This helps your pet stay adaptable and prevents anticipatory resistance.

Keep your voice calm and your movements slow. Your pet reads your energy. A relaxed handler leads to a more relaxed pet.

Brush the full outer surface routine. Review what is working well and what still needs patience. Adjust your reward timing if needed.
