Echo walked much better this afternoon - distractions were greatly reduced, especially canine ones. To celebrate we stopped for ice cream before a quick stop at the library.
Our focus the last few days has been off leash manners: patience through doorways, no begging while we eat, calm crate exit, and no "houseplay". We need some visitors to work on calm greetings in the home. Of course we worked in some obedience. Echo is working on SIT, DOWN, SIT; the first two are easy, the sit from a down has been challenging, but improving. He actually did it once tonight without prompting.
Puppy hygiene tonight included our least favorite activity, nail trimming. Echo received a bath in preparation for his day at work tomorrow.
"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion." - Unknown
