Sunday friend visit; trainer

Meds at 7 o'clock. Went outside for potty walk. No poop. Half cup breakfast in Toppl. Downtime while I wait for friend to arrive.
Friend arrival ~0850. Temba barked at the sounds outside the door.
I gave him pieces of sausage and she gave him also a large piece of sausage he remained calm and friendly after this. Just for safety, I put him downstairs with his mat and snuffle rug full of food. Also gave him a few toys to play with while we were upstairs. He barked and scratched at the door a few times because he was being left alone? But he did okay overall.

After friend left, we put a muzzle on and harness to begin trainer session. Pretty good session. Counterconditioning. Continued training outside . Did not encounter neighbor dogs. Or other triggers. Good leave it behavior.

Downtime while I did some work.
Nap time.
Lazy fetch indoors.

Meds at 1700
went out for a walk pee no poop. encountered a few dogs. Barked and lunged at a dog in a truck that went by us . Pulled a lot during the entire walk. Give him some treats for noticing dogs at a distance.
Left him with the remainder of this snuffle rug breakfast.

 Returned shortly.

Dinner in snuffle rug. Fetch outside for pee and poop.
