[nagdu] Class Wednesday

[Tracy Carcione]

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.
