Toby is now on his Prozac everyday. Not sure if it means much, but he isn't eating as much as he was. The good news is, he eats at a normal pace. There is no gobbling of the food and his tail isn't tucked under. If Ken isn't home from work, he will easily come into the kitchen for dinner - if Ken is there, we move his bowl just into an adjacent hallway so he can't see Ken. But mornings are going okay. I think he's just accepting that Ken gives out breakfast and it's time to eat. But - he's only eating a little bit and doesn't seem to be so hungry.
Doors. Going out the door is now more normal for both Ken and I. Toby isn't doing the hold back and mad dash out. His recall is excellent - unlike most Airedales. Now he's even going out by himself. He goes to the door and stands there - looks at me - looks at the door. That's his signal. We'll have to work on getting him to bark. This is a big improvement.
Toby was warming up to my friend who does our floors. She is a dog savvy person and he seemed to like her. Well, that was until this week. On Tuesday I was at class and he did not want to come in for her as he has before. So I don't know why that has changed. She was here today for a while and he acted like he barely knew her!! He has been around her since he came to live with us. She'll go with the flow and does praise him for his 'bravery' and is ignoring him otherwise. Wonder what's up with this.
