Rodney is learning new things. He now has a designated spot to wait for the stall door to be opened.
I will stand over here.
I will not rush the door.
I will wait politely for stall door to be opened.
I will not crowd the operator.
I will keep my feet behind this imaginary line.
I will wait for the human to tell my is it time to go in.
I will accept that a small correction is not the end of the world.
Yesterday he stood in his spot without prompting from me!
Onwards!
