Bump in the Night

Echo walked to the get some custard, before dinner, and to pick up some bread for dinner. Quick stops with some good interactions with puppy-loving people. Of course we worked on SIT, DOWN, STAY, FIX IT as we walked.

We have made a point for the last week to walk Echo at night. He occasionally gets spooked by the shadows and nighttime sounds. Last week he was spooked by something at the neighbor's house and he would not leave the front porch. I couldn't determine what the problem was, so we couldn't "make friends". We cautiously walked over to the area which seemed to make it better.

Last night, we walked down some moderately busy streets with car lights creating moving shadows and unexpected noises. Echo was tentative, but not scared. He appeared to handle it well, but more practice is definitely required.
