Yesterday, Belle and I went to Westview Manor with Sharon Pooler and my project advisor, Kristina. She did a great job. The residents absolutely loved her, and one of them even slipped her a little hamburger from her dinner (after asking, of course). She was extremely well-behaved, and even when food was 5 inches from her nose, she payed more attention to the people than the food. She was a little headstrong on the leash, but it was a brand new place so I'm not surprised. We were only there for an hour, but it definitely gave me what I needed to know about training her.
We also went to RKO. The store lets dogs in, and all the employees stopped to say hi to her. She was wonderful! Other customers started talking to us about their dogs, and one little boy petted her for at least 5 minutes. She got a bright pink harness.
After we were done in Wooster, we went to the Dari-Ette with a few of my friends (we needed to discuss some fundraisers for our Atlanta mission trip this summer). She was amazing! She barked a few times after it got dark, but I think it was because she couldn't clearly see who people were. She didn't try to run away, and she always responded to my commands. And she enjoyed the cheeseburger and ice cream I shared too :)
