Maitri had a good day today. We broke up the monotony by spending the morning doing Placemat while I caught up on some emails and some other boring office work. It ended up being almost 2 hours that he snoozed on his mat or chewed on his bone. We worked on "go get it" and he does much better with a dragon toy that Ace left out in the rain because it slaps on the ground when it lands and so he knows exactly where it is. If a toy lands quietly he has a much harder time finding it it seems.
In the afternoon we worked our obedience but not how we usually do. He was my helper in a couple lessons that required distractions. He was a very good helper even with other (untrained) dogs carrying on around him. His only mistake was that he wanted to lay down instead of sit when told to. I think he may have been a bit overwhelmed by the car ride and then the other dogs and the busy place we were working. But his Heel, Down, Come, and Implied Stay were all pretty good. The lessons were in town.
He was a very good ambassador for Free State K-9 today and I was very pleased with how he did. He also made friends with a Toy Poodle today. Though the Toy Poodle is a bit of a curmudgeon. We will say Maitri wanted to be friends and the Poodle spurned his advances. Maitri is really rounding out nicely as we near the end of his stay with us.
