The beginning

This is going to mainly be an on-line training journal, so that I can keep track of what I have done, and what I need to do.

Last night, socialization:

Went to outside part of mall.  Noted that Rigger was anxious on opening car crate.  Seems uncertain of traffic.  Walked reasonably well on leash, for an untrained 4-month old puppy!  Hung out by the "dog spot" at the entrance to the mall.  Uncertain at first... a lot of hiding behind me.  But then, seemed to decide everything was ok, started playing with toys and exploring the area.  Tried drinking from dog drinking fountain.  Followed nose a lot... think he might have been smelling the dog treats they keep in the area.  Played a little of the name game, then came home.  Time spent in "happy mood"... 10-15 minutes?

Tonight, we will hang out by the street, to get used to traffic.
