Artex Board and Train day 4

3/16/2015

Atrex is really starting to shine. His best command so far is Come which is awesome because they have to be stellar at that before I move them to their remote trainer. The rest of his commands are going very well, but he still sometimes has his own idea of what he should do. He has a bit of a penchant for the dramatic and if I make him lay down when he doesn't want to he will theatrically flop over onto his side and then wave his legs up in the air while writhing on his back. Clearly, Down kills him. However, once he thinks he has fooled me well he bounces up and tries to play. He is a very silly guy and once he does this little act I do insist that he lay down and hold it for a while, just to prove to him that it is, in fact, possible for him to do so.
Today we had fun. It was so beautiful out that I decided to take him for a hike. We went about 4.5 miles and he finally started acting a bit tired. 
Tomorrow is back to work as usual. I am looking forward to starting him on his remote trainer. This is a dog who will definitely enjoy the freedom that the remote collar allows him. I plan to introduce the collar tomorrow and hopefully remove the leash either tomorrow evening or the day after.
I am very pleased overall with how Artex is doing. He sure does look sharp doing his commands and he seems to enjoy praise, though he does also still enjoy doing his own thing. Smart boy!
