Slow and steady is winning the race with Baxter. He is a dog who is very used to the way things were and he is a bit resistant to change. However, he is learning to enjoy the praise and while he is still pretty resistant to the idea of training he is making progress. His Heel is pretty good and his Sit, while not automatic yet, is coming along. He complies slowly and will try back-talking and pouting to get out of work. I am moving him up to a micro pinch collar tomorrow to help make the corrections more effective with a smaller movement on my part.
He is NOT a fan of the Down command. We will leave it at that for now but I am not giving up. I know he can do it.
He has not had an accident in the house yet but I have not given him much of a chance. He will slowly earn more freedom as the week goes on. He is doing just fine for now. Good job, Baxter!
