After a meltdown this morning about my 7mo – questioning if I could do this – I just saw a glimmer of hope for the future and im so proud.

I literally posted this morning (check out my earlier post), and tonight I couldn't be prouder.

My 7mo working cocker has been such a handful these last few months. Every evening ended in a meltdown – biting, humping, barking, chewing the bed sheets, spinning. I've constantly been rewarding and capturing calm, and every nap this week he has basically chosen to settle without being prompted. Tonight though, he actually climbed up the stairs and took himself to bed. No meltdown, no coaxing and trying to get him to regulate.. it was just so easy… I made a hot drink and folllowed him up to see him sleeping like an angel.

Tiny flicker of hope and it's enough to keep me going. 🙂
