four small steps from the spa’s notebook

1

Log tiny progress in a notebook - wellness is a paw-by-paw trail.

One cue, one meaning - make sure the whole family uses the same words.

3

Book a vet check before starting anything new and demanding.

4

Warm the room first - a calm, quiet space helps a dog settle.
