Day1 F1 F2 M1 M2 M3
Walk on Gravel Driveway Trotted happily behind me, tail level but wagging Trotted between my feet, tail down but wagging Hesitated about the whole process, then trotted underfoot, tail not wagging at first, and then a did wag with a little encouragement Left me behind and went out front like a SCOUT Had to be mildly coaxed to walk, then charged ahead happily once he figured out the game
Meet Adult Dogs through Fence Tail drooped, ears down, hunched shoulders, and then ran behind me and watched alertly  Tail went straight up in the air and then she dropped it and wagged Oh, no, they are gonna get me, so I am gonna sit on mom's foot until they stop barking, then I'll circle and approach them Helicoptor tail and ran towards them grinning -- I caught him before he went in the fence with the adults Watched and tilted head, not worried, but not impressed
Obstacle is terrace between the upper and lower yards Followed me up obstacle  FOllowed hesitantly  Followed me but wasn't really thrilled with the whole process  Was over the obstacle before I could start Coaxed mildly to climb on obstacle
Day2 & 3 F1 F2 M1   M2
Walking down driveway, through hayfield, and back uphill  through woods Walking happily but close, new path didn't bother her   Walking with me, close and not unhappy but not thrilled either, new path was fine so long as I was close Underfoot or out front, curious about everything Played and romped and had a grand time, stayed within sight of me, but wasn't all that concerned Play time!  Much improved over Day1
Meet same dogs at same fence Watched curiously Glanced at, but more interested in me Watched when dogs were yelling, played with pinecones and kept one ear on them Wanted to go INSIDE their yard and get in trouble Watched other dogs,wasn't worried.
Obstacle: terrace & bush hog & railroad cross ties Climbed up and over eagerly, even the new things Climbed up and over eagerly, even the new things Climbed up and over  not always eager, but not worried Zoomed around and over the obstacles, what obstacles? Climbed up and over eagerly
