Day 2

For breakfast, I counted out 10 kibble and clicked Zane for eye contact. It took a while. The cats came in and he wanted to look at them instead. Once he got his 10 clicks, he got the rest of his food in his bowl.

Then he went to agility lessons. No, he didn't do anything. It was Bella's lesson. But he got to meet two new dogs, meet 4 new people, and walk around a new place. And he got to sit in his crate while other dogs did active stuff.

For lunch, we worked on name recognition. Show him food, say his name, click/treat. I was only going to do it for 10 kibble, but ended up doing it for 20. He was too cute - he'd look at me out of the corner of his eyes.

This afternoon he met one of Jade's friends and her dad.

For his dinner, Jade, Jill, and I did round-robin recalls with just his name. He doesn't understand completely yet, but several times he did run to the person calling his name, so that's progress!

Some of today's pictures:
