Squirrels and Find

Dooley and I woke up at 6am. We stretched and got ready for a morning walk.

I learned two things about Dooley on this walk. He wants to eat squirrels, badly. He does not like sprinklers.

Post walk snooze in the sun.

After we had our breakfast, I decided to try "Find." This is the 7th or 8th attempt... He might just get it, with the help of some gesturing... It's only day one, after all. My hope is by the end of it, I can get him to wait out of sight and I can hide the treat or myself, yell FIND, and he will find.

It's only about 9am now and I do not know what else we can do. We meander outside, perimeter sweep. All clear. Play tug of war with some kong toys, Dooley wins. I let him bark at some squirrels in the tree then call him over, he comes frantically.

I explain to Dooley I'm getting the vacuum again and we're going to clean up. He's unsure.

After a thousand more LEAVE IT's, enough is enough. Outside we go...
