Louie is coming right along. He is posing an interesting (and common) issue in that he is learning very very fast and he knows his commands when he has his training collar on but if he is just hanging around the house he still has poor self restraint and makes bad choices. I'm having him wear his training collar around the house while dragging a short leash today so that I can correct him for foolishness outside of obedience workouts.
I will bring this up to his owners during his go-home lesson but he is a terrific candidate for remote collar training. I feel like he would take to it very quickly and it would give him a lot of freedom to enjoy. Naturally it isn't for everyone but if they wanted to move forward with him on it it's definitely an option.
His obedience commands are pretty great for day 3. He learns words quickly and loves praise. He just still has some puppy energy that gets the better of him. At the moment he is trying SO hard to stay on Placemat but he has needed a few corrections tonight. He is pouting right now because I won't let him get up to go pester the puppy (my other trainee) into playing with him.
Tomorrow I am very busy in the afternoon so all his work will happen in the morning and then placemat again in the evening. But his afternoon will be very low key which is sometimes nice. A little break after hard work for 3 days straight.
