Sunday - snuffle rug

Meds @ 0800

Gave him a carrot to eat while I had some breakfast.

Outside for pee.

Fetch indoors with new glow ball

Nose work

Breakfast in Starmark ball, but didn't really want it.

Barked when package was delivered to front door. Gave him treats, and put him in the room while I retrieved the box. Package was actually his snuffle rug, so I put the food from Starmark onto the rug, and let him go at it.

More Downtime while I worked.

Muzzle work, then drove to Abbot Loop for a muzzle walk. Good ride but minimal interest in treasts. Gave sausage treats while walking. Several dogs and people around, but we mostly stayed out of the way. Made sure to treat him for not reacting to cars. Leash was tight for first half of the walk, but looser on the second half.

Ok ride back home.

Gave him Kong ball with chicken in the ridges.

Intermittent downtime alternating with indoor fetch. Did some shaping work with a box, chicken treats. Got him to nudge the box for treats. Not sure if he gets it quite yet.

His indoor "leave it" is excellent. If he breaks and starts after the ball, I give him a corrective sound, and he stops and sits down.

Dinner in snuffle rug.

Fetch outside for pee and poop. Leave-it outside is getting better.

Downtime back inside. Treated him for staying calm when he heard dog barking outside.
