This morning we took the GDB bus into SF. We were on the outside of downtown in a little more residential area. We all congregated at Joe's coffee shop (similar to Starbucks) and individually walked with our instructors on a busy crowded sidewalk with all kinds of usual obstacles. I opted for the longer route and went to Lombard St. which has 3 lanes of traffic on each side which Melanie crossed perfectly. She did have a couple times where she wasn't paying the proper attention, and I had to do some obedience training, and she refocused and was fine. We got on a city bus and met up with the rest of the group.
After lunch we went back to downtown San Rafael where another student and I had a destination route. We opted to visit a couple of little clothing shops. It was so much fun having Melanie with me while I looked at all the different clothes. Maybe because she's a girl she seemed to like it. Later, we were given a head harness which goes over the nose and behind the ears, but the dog can easily open its mouth to eat or drink. It's primarily used when a dog gets so distracted that the usual obedience commands are not effective. When I put it on her it made her look like a little Doberman, but a real cute one.
