We mostly stuck to review again today. Not because Clint isn't ready to progress but because today was super busy for me and so I didn't have time to properly dedicate to introducing new and harder things. But is response time is getting faster. He does sometimes try to "cute" his way out of work by showing me his tricks when I ask him to do something boring like "sit" or "down" or "come" and he would rather snuggle and play. But if (when) I insist that he do it he does comply pretty well. He is a little squirrelly about Down sometimes but as I said, he is getting faster.
Tomorrow I have more time to dedicate to Clint and so we will be introducing his remote trainer and doing some more new stuff that I hope he finds more interesting than what we are doing now. Right now my guys are all laying down in the dining room and Clint is walking from dog to dog stealing sniffs and avoiding eye contact. Eventually he will find a soft bit of floor and relax but first it seems he wants to investigate everyone, just in case they are somehow different than they were in the yard. He is a funny guy. He met the house cat today. She was not impressed and made her personal space bubble known very quickly. Clint was pretty respectful but he followed her closely (she does not run from dogs so isn't a fun target for chasing). But if he tried to nose-boop her she would swat him in the face which he didn't like. Jury is still out on whether or not they will be able to relax around each other.
