Kee and I had just parked and I started to video for an upcoming class, when my focused Kee heard (before I did) two girls come up from a trail behind my car...
Seeing his interest peak with his ears perking up, and a Lookie Lou dart ahead to try and get a better look was my cue to help him out. I worked Keegan using cues and handsignals while acknowledging the girls and their interest in saying hello to Kee. The art of multi-tasking!
It was nice that the girls held back and asked first. It gave me time to make sure Kee was interested in meeting them, not worried, before I said his magic cue to visit and "Say Hello".
My guys rely on me to help keep them safe and out of trouble. I was proud of Kee. He held back his excitement to bolt ahead and investigate and waited for his cue to visit. I used a happy voice, no need to get stern or grumpy, clear direction and hand signals as a back up when I noticed he needed help.
That's just the way we roll :)
