July 31 - Part 2 - A Lesson in tolerance.

Helping dad again on his bike is always a willing task for Cooper...














... but getting close to a baby isn't.  

Cooper has a light on his collar that I can turn on if he's out in the dark off leash so I can see where he is.  I was showing the light to little baby Mark.  He was so interested in looking at it.  I had Cooper stay still and allow it.  Cooper doesn't like babies getting too close because he's afraid he'll get his hair pulled.  Mark didn't want to touch Cooper so I used this as a lesson.




Cooper was great allowing Mark to investigate the light, against his preferred 'run away from the baby' approach.  He did fine and it lasted for about three or four minutes.  



A good lesson for Cooper - good entertainment for Mark.  Success X 2!
