SPEAKER_1: Scout is already awake. Eight weeks old, nose down, circling the kitchen floor in that tight little loop that means one thing. Across the room, Miso is watching from the counter — completely still, completely unimpressed. And Shi hasn't even had coffee yet. SPEAKER_2: And that moment right there — that is not a casual moment. That is the first training decision of the day. SPEAKER_1: Exactly. Because here's the thing most people don't realize when a puppy comes home: the training doesn't start when you decide to train. It starts the second that puppy wakes up. What happens in the next sixty seconds either builds a habit or breaks one. SPEAKER_2: And the puppy has no idea. Scout isn't testing you. Scout is just following instinct — sniff, circle, find a spot. Your job isn't to correct that instinct after the fact. Your job is to get ahead of it. SPEAKER_1: Which means the environment has to be ready before Scout guesses wrong. That's the whole frame for today. Not reacting to mistakes — building a system that makes the right choice the easy choice. For Scout, for Miso's calm household, for Shi's sanity. SPEAKER_2: [short pause] So — what does Shi actually do in the next sixty seconds? SPEAKER_1: That's exactly where we're going.
