Bad weather day and it will be worse tomorrow! Milton doesn't like cold rain. Neither does Mommy. He peed on a bush but wouldn't have anything to do with pooping in the morning, so he had one poop in the backyard during lunch. He seems to be OK with one poop per day (knock on wood).
A good training day! I want to teach him to know his toys by name as a brain game. I saw a story on CBS last month about a border collie (his name is Chaser) that knows over a thousand toys by name. How cool would it be to teach Milton to distinguish between even two at this point?
So over the weekend I got out a new soft toy that looks like a hamburger and when I gave it to him, I said, "Look, Milton! It's burger!" and I've called it burger many times since. Now I can say "Where's burger?" and he'll go and get it. Tonight I decided to change it up and distinguish between toys, so I said "Green bone! Milton, where's green bone?" That's a hard chewing toy that was also available to him but was being ignored in favor of "burger". After giving "green bone" to him and calling it "green bone" I said, "Milton! Where's burger?" He went to burger but then came back to green bone.
That's my smart boy!  Maybe we can give Chaser a run for his money... ;-)
No aggression incidents today, but he didn't really have an opportunity for that. I notice that he does hit a point during training where he's ready for it to end, and I'm paying attention to that. I'll try to be more observant about the physical signals, but so far, somehow I just "know".
