Days 21–25

Deepen Comfort

Your pet has built a foundation. These days focus on deepening comfort and extending the routine naturally.

Day21

Three-Week Milestone

3–4 min

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

Day22

Extend Session Slightly

4 min

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

Day23

Vary the Starting Side

4 min

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

Day24

Calm and Consistent

4 min

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

Day25

Full Routine Review

4 min

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