Gunner is doing SO well. So well I am taking it with a grain of salt. I think he still sees me as a bit of an unknown element even though we are friends now and so he isn't showing me his temper tantrums he throws at home. However, he doesn't have me fooled. As much as I am enjoying him and as sweet and snuggly as he is being I am guessing as he gets more and more comfortable here he will start showing me his meltdowns that spurred his owner to call me. If we get to the end of the week and his halo still hasn't slipped it won't all be for naught though. It will allow us to move forward with the understanding that he is capable of being an obedient and respectful boy who doesn't throw little fits when he doesn't get his way and so his owners can move forward and expect that good behavior from him.
I have introduced his remote collar to him and he has been doing well with the corrections so far. Mostly I have been correcting him for barking in his kennel when Dana comes near and for messing with my house plants (he thinks he is a gardener) but he takes the corrections well and it doesn't upset him so far.
His obedience is coming along fine and he has become fast friends with Murray, the golden retriever puppy sharing the training room with him this week.
