A day of training

Today has been a lovely day. Started the day with a 5 minutes walk with Beethoven before breakfast. Worked a little on «Close the door» and «Roll up in a towel.» when coming back in. He has been really good today, took contact all the time and walked with loose leash. Slept when he was told to too. Later we took a 30 min walk with some practice on «heel» to start with. 7 meters with contact all the way! Great! I'm hoping that means we are going in the right direction. I think that's our record at the moment, but it's a great progress, since we haven't been working on heel for long.
Later we took a longer walk in environments that he hasn't been much in yet. He seemed confident and eager to explore. Greeted a lot of people, and even some dogs, but he thought that the dogs were kind of scary. Still needs to work on that part of socialization. He's getting more and more confident as days passes by. Growing like a weed too, he's 30 cm! Already fitting in his adult harness and collar.
Rest of the day, we'll just relax on the couch before going on the evening walk without any training involved. Can't train all day, you know, needs to have some fun too. Happy thanksgiving all.
