on/Post call

Meds @ 0430
Gave him Greenie and left for call.
According to video monitor he left the bedroom briefly after finishing the greenie then climbed back in bed. Really hoping he didn't poop...
Returned at 0830
played fetch outside pooped before coming back in. Full breakfast in Toppl. Downtime/fetch in bed.
Slept 3-4 hours then fetch again in bed.
downtime while I had lunch.
Went out to Abbott Loop park and played fetch for about one hour. Halfway through our session there was a KBD(?) walking/running with his doggy mom. The dog appeared really playful and Temba ran to greet it. I called up Temba to come back with the ball, and he looked at me briefly pick up the ball and came running back. He got lots of praise for that. A little while after that, I was at the top of the hill and he was at the bottom of the hill I had just thrown the ball and he had just fetched it. There was a skate skier who was going by along the path. Temba made a move and started to go towards him. I called out for him to come back to me and he came running up the hill with the ball.
As we were leaving though, there were two golden retrievers that had just arrived with their parents. Temba was a little anxious and whiny as I was getting my foot gear off. He didn't get too overly excited though it seemed. Left his window open for the ride home. He seemed to be content with that.
Gave him a greeny chew when we got home.
Downtime while I made and ate second lunch.
Fetch inside. Pee outside.
Left for grocery shopping.
Gave him pets and attention when I got home. Capturing calmness. Counterconditioning when I turned on the mixer blender.
Dinner walk with mostly loose leash. Towards the end of the walk there was a dog walking with human, coming towards us. Temba got excited but we kept walking the other direction. Treated him without clicks until the trigger passed.
Fetch outside with rope-ball. Pee before coming inside but not sure if he pooped.
