Game Over

In the morning, Divit and I went for a run to the park. He met a few new dogs. Using the flexi-leash, we found ourselves on opposite sides of a few poles. The command for the day was FIX IT. We kept practicing and by evening he was much better.

On the evening walk, Divit met even more dogs. He seems a little apprehensive when first meeting new canines, raised hackles and an occasional bark when approaching, but no aggression.

Divit and Buddy were soaked and mud splattered by the time we got home. I dried them both off as best I could and removed their collars to dry. Initially it was hard to tell them apart, but without the collars we picked up on their behavioral differences. Divit's tail is a giveaway, it is always moving back and forth.

For some mental stimulation, we filled the food dispenser for Divit. He pushed it around by himself for a couple minutes until it was nearly empty. To test for food aggression I let Buddy out, Divit picked the dispenser up and took it to his crate. Game Over.
