I am a bit taken back by how much progress we made in less than an hour. After this first session I left Sage alone for a few hours. I just went out to interact with him a bit and he came up to me to smell me. I slowly reached out to pet him for the first time and he let me. He was curious and enjoyed it. I would move 10 feet down the way and he would follow me and encourage me to pet him more. I sat and pet him for about ten minutes. Scratching his neck, petting his jaw, forehead and nose. He's so curious and I'm so grateful he's responding so well to me.
