Max Board and Train day 9

5/9/2014

Well I have been busy editing videos and taking yearbook photos of Max today. He goes home tomorrow evening and I am very pleased with how far he has come. He is still very much Max the Lab. He is exuberant, friendly, and a little bit impulsive but he is also more responsive and he knows his commands now. He is by no means a "robot dog" but his foundation is solid enough that his parents can expect obedience out of him. He will only get better as he grows up, especially if his owners make his obedience a way of life, and not just party tricks.
He will get some workouts tomorrow mostly just to tucker him out. He knows Heel/Autosit, Down, Implied Stay, Come, Sit, and Place. He is very reliable when he has his shock collar on, though he still struggles with good decisions sometimes. He walks nicely on leash and sticks around when he is off leash and not in a command. 
I am going to recommend that his owners really utilize his shock collar when he goes home. It really helps hold Max accountable. If he learns that he can get away with mischief at home because he doesn't have his collar on he will start backsliding on his obedience. 
It is easy to forget how young Max is because he is so big but he really is a big baby. I will miss his goofy face and his less-than-graceful sprints around the yard with Ace, which more than once involved running into a very solid object, like a tree or another dog. He has a good heart and really does want his people to be proud of him.
