On our walk, we focused on dog distractions. We walked through the park which offers plenty of opportunities to pass strange dogs, remain calm, and keep walking. Echo was also tested with SIT/STAY commands with dog, bike, and human distractions. As a reward, he got to spend some play time with Kane and Sable, who showed up as we were leaving.
Echo's issue for the last few days has been jumping up on people when greeting them or playing with them off leash. It's difficult to provide immediate correction. We are dependent on the generally excited and young greeter to provide correction. On leash it has not been an issue.
One of Echo's favorite places to visit is the Walgreen's in Oregon. He is excited as he exits the car. The reason he is so happy is that one of the clerks will share a portion of his lunch with Echo - usually a cookie.
