Gosh, it's a week since I met Krokus!
Yesterday afternoon, we did a lot of work on getting him over the slows.
I have to pull back and shut up. I have the bad retrain habit of pushing
a bit with the harness, and, if I do, he just stops. So I have to pull
back and walk real slow until he throws himself into it. Hard work. Then
I can't talk to him too much while we're walking, because he gets
distracted by it.
We walked real slow up a quiet streey, and Ben would have started sniffing
everything, but Krokus just walked along. He got distracted a bit by some
little kids playing across the street. That's the kind of guy he is. But
it was easy to get him past it. I think I've given 2 leash corrections in
the last 2 days.
Today, I did the Elm Street solo, still working on Pocus Krokus, but he
did start stepping it up after a couple blocks. This afternoon we start
freelance, by which TSE means working on things we want to work on instead
of planned routes. We'll do targetting a crosswalk button, revolving
doors, and escalators.
