We are cruising right along with Charlie. He has had a couple days of workouts without any leash or tether at all and done beautifully. As expected for a dog his age and caliber he is easily distracted but just a verbal “No” gets him right back on track.
He did well on Placemat and Down Stay today during the kids’ lunch time and he did a great job on our long walk today. He also is learning to leave the chickens alone even though I am not holding him back.
Really Charlie is a super star and he is exactly where I would expect him to be considering his breed and work ethic. He is one happy guy and he loves to work (and play!).
We are entering Proofing Mode which is where we simply heap on the distractions. I am going to try to carve out time to take him down town for some practice but because my son was sick yesterday and today (thus not at school) it took quite a chunk out of my child-free time where I could have gotten that done. But I’m gonna try to make that happen. For now he is playing with his buffalo horn when he should be sleeping. Such a toddler.
