| I succeeded and met the requirements for my commitment. Tomorrow I just need to verify and submit my final report. It was really hard to focus on the skills, but on off days I did find myself spending some time on the skills, just not measuring how long and just doing a few trials. In hindsight 20 trials rather than minutes would have been more appropriate, but since it is my behavior I did spend some awesome time with my dog. We both enjoyed it. I actually dropped a thumbtack and he didn't move...which is something he would have eaten right away before. The wait command worked out really nice for that. | |

| Duncan has been better at his sit command and wait command. He also is responding to no. He hasn't associated drop it with frisbee, but the commands of sit and wait have made it easier for me to pick up frisbees from the ground. | |

| The goal was much easier, trying to figure out how to squeeze more sessions/trials in throughout the day across different environments. Teaching how to walk on a leash without pulling has been the hardest. | |

It was extremely difficult to meet my goal, 20 minutes of dog training was way too ambitious when paired with having a sick day due to a stye (eye irritation lasted monday-friday). The thought of having to go to the bank and admit defeat is what kept me going.
