Topic: Daily Walk & Training
Today we had a very nice walk. The thermometer said 18 but it actually felt quite warm, I think it was more like 40. I brought treats with me again and practiced the 'look' command as well as heeling. He was very attentive, and after the treats came out he would randomly look back at me with that hopeful gaze. So I rewarded that behavior a couple times with treats. I practiced heel command quite a bit, and it definitely helped to have the treats. I was even able to keep his focus on me for about a block while he was in heel position.

We'll go back to group class next month, and start practicing for the CGC test. By the way, poor Christina lost one of her dogs this week, Hera. I never met her, but she had been suffering from arthritis, though her passing was unexpected. Me and Spiff said a prayer for her.
