Downtime on his mat while I had breakfast.
1/2 cup of breakfast in snuffle rug.
Nice chill ride to Arctic tails. Gave him about 1/2 cup of the rest of his food.

Brief potty walk around Arctic Tails. Pee/poop.
Walked in very happily, eager to get to the back.

Nice calm ride back home. Saw two dogs on the way back, treated him for noticing them. Did not bark or even whine! Took treats nicely.

Brief fetch outside for pee. No poop? 

Did short nose work session with cheese rewards. Then Relaxation protocol Day 1.

Dinner in snuffle rug. Barked at noises across the street.
Downtime while I made/ate dinner.

Tried to get him to pee/poop outside but he's too used to playing fetch out there. Will have to train him out of the habit of playing outside, and just going out for potty.

Went for short potty walk, no poop. Neighbor on the corner apparently lost one of their dogs, brown Australian Shepherd named Tanner. We didn't see any dogs on our very short walk.

Back home. Gave him the Kong treat ball wedged with sausage slices and PB.

Clipped his nails, treated each clip. Stayed really calm while I clipped them.
