Well today we did not get a lot of new stuff done but that wasn't Bear's fault. Appointments kept me in town today and so I made sure to give Bear 2 upkeep workouts to make sure he stayed fresh on what we were working on, and a nice long bike ride. That and some house time pretty much sums up his day.
One thing that was very nice this morning during our long walk is that he has finally stopped pulling on the long line when he is out of his Heel. When he is in a Heel he knows better but when he is in a free walk he still pushes it quite a bit and this morning was the first time that he got to the end of the line and adjusted his walking speed so as not to pull. He got a lot of praise for this and I let him hang out at the end of the line for a little longer today that I normally do before throwing him into his morning workout.
Tomorrow I am out at the farm all day until the evening and so we should be able to challenge Mr. Bear a little more. He is doing well though. Right now he is teaching us the song of his people as he howls in his kennel. Possibly he is upset that he is not inside with us watching the KU game.
