Training Day 4

So betcha thought I wasn't updating tonight huh....I am but it's a later nighter again tonight. Sorry about that! We got together with some friends tonight. But anyway here we are.

So today was more obedience, learned about working the dogs in public, watched the mobility dogs do there stuff (they are awesome!), got our harnesses and headed for the mall for our first big public journey.

The mall went well. Taz did very good. He did have some trouble on the stairs...he wasn't too keen on going up them...but we worked on that and he adjusted pretty well, pretty fast. Just going to have to be something we practice a lot. So he was pretty laid back at the mall, I even took him into a Halloween store and he took it all in stride. The only thing that really bothered him (outside the stairs) was there was a kiddie train that was going around the mall. He was nervous about that but no too bad. That is however until it was followed by a housekeeping cart and then someone walked behind us with a rolling rack cart. All that activity spooked him, but I was able to get him back into his sit pretty quickly.

After class he and I came home and took a nap! We were both tired from all the walking around today! lol

After that we went to dinner with some friends. He did "under" at the table well and staying under the table for 2 hours. He did get up twice. He had been asleep and I think when we woke up he was confused on where he was at. He went to "down" no problem. He did amazing in the restaurant!! It was a great day!

No pics tonight. I have some but need to get to bed so I will add them to tomorrows blog. As always, thank you for reading!!
