Coaching Session
Sunset Park & The Forum
We started out with a full Agenda and actually made it through almost all of it. Nad started out doing L1 with Cathy (L3 OTR), see video. He stayed focused through all 3 of the RP. I felt like I was losing his attention and that he was not in the game. When we were walking to the dog park he kept forging forward so it took us a long time to get there. Once inside, both Nad and Rooster did great recalls. When we walked back to the car he was much more in the game. I wasn't sure if he'd be up to going to the Forum. He'd had a very busy past 4 days and I thought he may have just been 'done'.
We stopped by my house to give Rooster a little New Home Etiquette. Nad stayed in the car in the driveway the whole time. Then we headed to the Forum. I was really pleased to see that Nad stayed focused and handled all the distractions well and we did a lot of Right Side work.
Tomorrow he will have a well deserved day off.
