This episode is a special bonus episode that I created after a listener got in touch asking if I would speak more about Lucky’s journey. We were chatting on Instagram, and she wanted to hear more about the progress I have made with some of Lucky’s behaviours and how he has made some huge leaps and bounds recently with getting comfortable with things that used to really frighten him. So, I sat down and did some reflection on what I think has worked, what hasn’t worked, and what we’re still working through, in hopes that perhaps you might benefit from my successes, as well as learn from my failures.
