Wednesday

 Morning - following is going great. One instance of really wanting to go a different direction, but I waited and she eventually changed her mind - I need to start counting time to see how long this takes. We did more “place” training with the mat in Main Hall - she followed me around some chairs and then back to her mat. Then did sit-stay on the mat, and she is great. 

Overall - better at less barking at other dogs. I have a hard time catching her before her first bark, but after that, she is starting to calm down if I pet her and talk to her and catch her attention. This is both on walks and on the balcony. In the evening, she came when I called her after she barked once, although the last time she just kept barking so I had to go out and tell her to come in. 

Children’s choir party and walk at North Hills were both great. She was very polite and even sat without reacting when another dog walked by when I had ice cream - she loves ice cream. 

Had a small poop accident by the trash can tonight - not sure why since she didn’t ask to go out. I’m hoping it was just the scent of her other poop from the trash can and I will do better to take that out more frequently.
