Playground

We practiced greeting visitors this morning. He needs more repetition, so feel free to stop by anytime to practice.

This evening we walked to the park. Buddy's friends weren't walking today. They were all playing fetch and chasing each other. This was a good opportunity to first practice our calm dog greeting. Then after greeting everyone, he worked on his DOWN STAY. It was quite a test with dogs running past and over him. He did well, not perfect, so we let him play for a couple minutes before returning to a work - more DOWN STAY.

The party broke up and we walked past the busy soccer fields to the playground. Buddy hasn't been on the equipment for some time. No problem with the steps. Slight hesitation on the shaky bridge. He really didn't want to stop on the bridge, but he did STAY. He will not do the wobbbly plank.
