This month, we’ve done more of the same practice of training behaviours, as previously, with progress evident in two areas.

Duration: on Oct. 10, out of curiosity, decided to try Magic in test-assessment times; success with stand, 3 min.; sit, 6 min.; down, 20 min. (I wandered and even left the room at times; also used The Margaret Distractions.)

Β Perch: on Oct. 14, maintained perch position while completing a complete circle.

One outing: downtown via car to The Bay.Β  (As an aside, I observed that one way to get the attention of a sales clerk is to have an assistance dog along!)Β  For fun:Β  lovely woods walk with Cana (photos thanks to P. Sanderson).Β  Life continues to be very pleasant with Magic II!Β  Spay surgery is scheduled for Nov. 12 at Vancouver SPCA.
