Sunday - nosework

Woke up 7 AM. Fetch outside for pee and poop. Dog across the way started barking. Temba got a little excited. Gave him some cheese treats for not going crazy.
Pooped in 6 separate locations
meds @0830

Downtime while I had breakfast.

15 min nosework session! Did really well, and was excited about finding his cheese treats.

Breakfast in snuffle rug.

Downtime. Left him with dental chew inside Quizl, but he didn't eat it.

Returned 2 hours later, and he actually ate his dental chew; downtime while I had lunch.

Fetch indoors with glow ball.

Downtime, captured calmness.

Heard across-street neighbor get home, and went to bedroom to investigate. Redirected back to calm mat.

Fetch outside for pee/poop. Picked up his old poop from around the perimeter. As I was doing this, neighbor dog came outside to investigate and started growling. I put a piece of cheese in Temba's face to treat him, but he wa stoo focused on the ball and seemed to not hear the dog anyway. But dog began barking and no sooner, Temba ran to the fence to bark and scratch. I held him back by the harness and gave him cheese treats, which he did take though aggressively. Eventually redirected to play. Not sure if other dog went back inside, but didn't hear continued barking.

Back inside, downtime on mat. Barked once when he heard a noise on the other side of the wall. Cheese treat for not continuing to bark.

Downtime.

Nosework session! 15 min. Happy dog. Broke stay a couple times, other than that he did well.

Dinner in snuffle rug, PM meds 20:04

Got aroused and barked a few times at various noises outside.
