He seems different today

It's been a very good day with Harley. He seems different today somehow. David was working with him on waiting for treats and he was actually waiting. Maybe he's getting some impulse control. He spent a lot of the day outside or in the house at my feet. He only got mouthy twice today. I think that both times it was because he was tired. He's in bed right now. I can definitely tell when he's getting tired now because he gets mouthy. He also took offense to me studying today but I was able to keep him settled by having him sit or by me turning away from him. I've learned to turn sideways from him instead of with my back to him. When I have my back to him he thinks that's a clue to attack. I'm learning a lot about him just by paying closer attention to what he does and noticing any patterns. He's getting more predictable.

I'm going to do some reading tonight of the handouts that Dr. J sent me. It's supposed to be nice tomorrow so Harley and I are going to go for a walk with one of his new leashes, probably the short one. I'm going to bring treats to keep him focused on heeling. We'll walk around the cul de sac until he gets more controlled with his walking. I don't mind going in circles if Harley doesn't. lol
