On our short morning walk, Echo practiced SIT STAY COME with distractions. A lady walking nearby, one of the distractions, noted what a Good Dog he was. Then Echo spent the rest of the morning shopping: Walgreen's, WalMart, Farm/Fleet, Mounds, and Bill's. Nothing much to report, except that he is always happy to get "dressed" and take a ride with us.
We have cut back on his walks. In the past we have used them as exercise to reduce his energy level. However, we found out during puppy rotation that this creates a very high energy dog when he doesn't get the same exercise. Walks now will be used for potty and he will get his exercise on outings only. This should make him more manageable when others take over.
This evening Echo attended his first hockey game in more than a month. Again, no issues with the crowds, lights, or noises. There was some licking when greeting others;he has learned not to lick us. Back home for dinner, the two dogs have been eating together without incident, only gobbling and burping.
