Focus Issue

Echo endured another trip to the grocery store. No excitement and no issues, which is good when shopping with dogs or children.

In the evening, Echo attended his second Badger hockey game. He seemed more at ease this week, looking around and at the ice before the game started. Once play began, he laid DOWN under the seat for the whole period, which lasts about 40 minutes.

The only issue tonight was walking between periods. Lisa was working with him, but he was constantly checking to see where I was. He would stop and look back when I trailed or look around Lisa when I was on the right. It was very frustrating for Lisa. We usually share puppy duties, but s/he needs to work through this issue, so Lisa worked with him all night.

Returning to our seats for the third period, Echo performed his customary DOWN under the seat. He then proceeded to focus on me throughout the final period. He never took his eyes off me.
