Linus had a great day today. We have started transitioning to off leash. He is now dragging his leash during workouts and he stays right with me. He has Heel/Autosit, Down at the Side, Down from the Front, Implied Stay (he gets wiggly but he can do it) and he tries so so hard to be a good boy on Placemat but it is just so hard.
His one big problem area is with Recall. He only comes to me around %30 of the time. The other %70 of the time he either lays down and barks at me, trying to get me to play, or he acts frightened of me and skirts off to the side. I am going to reserve one of his workouts tomorrow to work specifically on this. Over all, however, he is doing extremely well for only 5 days of work.
He and Lexi have certainly bonded this week. They enjoy playing and romping together so much it really is pretty sweet. She is kind of his first grade girlfriend.
I have videos and pictures but my web connection is so slow they won't upload properly. I am going to have to find the time to go up to Campus and upload everything in one fell swoop.
