Yesterday we took off for a nearby elementary school to let Brian explore the world while Robbie worked away from the property. With COVID-19, I’ve been training far too much at home, and Robbie really needs that work in new(er) places. So of course Brian came along to play on the playground equipment, do some baby recalls and focus work, and simply be in a new place for training.
First he learns to wait his turn to train! He cried a little at first, but then settled down while I trained Robbie nearby.
Some of what I wanted to do involved Brian getting up on new surfaces (safely). I discovered this playground equipment wasn’t really good for that, but we did find one step:
