Brief fetch indoors with glow ball.
Brief fetch indoors with glow ball.
Fetch outside for pee/poop. Broke stay a couple times with leave-it cue. Fence fighting with neighbor dog. Tried giving him treats but he was too aroused. Pulled him away from the fence to give him treats.
[[ ToDo: carry leash, and hook on at the first sign of neighbor dog being outside, to keep Temba from even approaching the fence. As it is now, he is too quick for me to grab his harness when he dashes off to fence-chase the dog.]]
Relaxation protocol Day 3. Broke his stay when I started jogging in place again. Redirected and completed the set.
Nose work session ~7 min. Did ok, but kept breaking stay while I prepared the scene.
Downtime while I made/ate breakfast. Gave him a stuffed Kong to work on.
Breakfast in snuffle rug.
Left him ~0830 with dental chew inside Qwizl.

Intermittently played fetch indoors with glow ball.
Fetch outside for pee/poop.
Gave him a frozen chunk of treats to lick on (kibble, chicken, cheese, banana, carrot, sweet potato); probably 1 cup worth. Ended up eating the whole thing. I guess this will be his dinner.
Heard neighbor dog barking, and came right to me. Counter-conditioned with cheese treats for not reacting beyond that! Progress. Stopped treating as soon as barking stopped. (Open bar / closed bar)
Downtime while I did some work. Treated for minimal reaction with barking noises outside.
Brief fetch indoors, then downtime before bed.
