Walking away as a functional reward follow up

I have to say, it's working brilliantly! Today also marks 7 weeks of prozac. Crazy how time flies! We had a huge wind storm last night and I didn't even notice until I went to bed (my desk sits on the quiet part of the house, my bedroom on the windiest).  He's gone back to hanging out at his chair, with sprinklings of Mommy snuggling. He also asks fairly a few nights a week for snuggles in my lap.. and not in a panicked "I need reassurance" way. He hangs out, I tell him out handsome he is and then I put him back down and he goes on his merry way.

As for the topic: the functional reward of walking away. He's also getting a primary reward (food) but I'd say in this getting to leave to social situation is probably the primary reward. He's done it with the dremel, with just me sitting on the floor (one of his signals it's training time and so one of the social situations that puts pressure on him) and with Arya present, either sitting next to me or actively working. For the working part, he hung back and didn't bother her and then I would ask for a hand touch (entering our space politely) and then throw the treat back. Repeat.

His relationship with Arya is changing dramatically too! One thing about Arya is she loves to kiss. People, dogs, she'd probably kiss a cat if one gave her a chance! I've noticed he's tolerating her kissing him a lot more and even seeking her out to "touch bases". I'd say for comfort but that doesn't quite describe it. He's also much more tolerant of her being in his body space. A huge issue since about 15 months of age.

I've caught them practically cuddling when I wake up and this morning he jumped up on to the bed on request right after her and laid right with her. He doesn't just tolerate her in his body space in an open area, he's letting her come up to him while he sits on his chair (see below) and kiss him.

So good news! In  a week the puppy will be home about this time.
