Training Focused On:
- Heel

- Holding commands around distractions
- Improving handler engagement

This structured approach helped Ace understand that listening was part of everyday life rather than something expected only during training sessions.

What Improved:
- More consistent responses to commands

These improvements gave Ace a stronger behavioral foundation that his family can continue reinforcing as he matures.
