Yesterday Robbie trained at the hardware store and Brian came along.  I took Brian into an outdoor area of the store where I’ve never seen many dogs, so I felt safe in doing some engagement work, playing with a toy and other basic exercises.  I was really pleased with his attention on me despite the very distracting environment.  I’m sure that will change, as right now he’s pretty dependent on me.  Adolescence will hit at some point in the coming months…

Today we headed back to the tracking fields, and Brian got to have a bit more of a walk.  He did not show any amphibian tendencies…

He enjoyed exploring more, despite the loud noises of the fertilizer spreader…

And he proudly took charge of walking on leash…

Another good day for the puppy!
