Night

Echo has been sleeping downstairs by himself for the last two nights. He has also been in a different crate. No crying or maybe we just don't hear it :-)

On our walks today, Echo was working on SIT, DOWN, STAY, and HEEL. He has been doing the best on heeling which we only started on Monday night. Our focus the last few days has been "potty on command" without the cape/vest on. Potty without the cape will reduce the likelihood of accidents on outings.

Friday nights are Dog Whisperer nights. We all eat dinner watching two or three episodes of Cesar "fixing" other dogs. We always pick up a few tips that we have to try out immediately. Tonight's tip was never pull the leash back, only up or sideways. Echo enjoys watching and listening to the dogs on television.

Last night Lisa noticed that Echo was tentative walking at night. Shadows in the night are scary or unfamiliar. So we went for an evening walk tonight. He did well. We timed our walk to coincide with the end of a high school football game. Along with the darkness and shadows, we were able to work on SIT and DOWN with cars driving by, stereos blasting, girls screaming, boys running, etc.

Echo embraced the Night.
