Haircut!

Rebbe got a haircut today and got to do some leash work around town in Rosendale. His haircut looks great. We'll post some pictures tomorrow. The most Interesting part of the experience was the way he acted while at the groomer. When I returned to pick him up, they said that he had acted menacingly toward some men that had come in to pick up their dog earlier. So, I brought him out on the street and worked with him with people passing by so as to communicate to him that he should keep his attention with me. I wasn't able to calm him to degree that I would have liked on the street and I was able to notice the tension that came over his body at the approach of a stranger. This is definitely something to work on through time. While outside of the range of what we're dealing with in this phase of his training, I do think that we are laying the groundwork for the discussion later. More tomorrow...
