Murray is coming right along. We are using the leash less and less though I still bring it out for guidance if he needs it. He has been SO happy bounding around during his play time. I can tell this collar is going to give him so much freedom.
His commands are all in cleanup mode now. He knows them but he still gets a little sloppy now and then but practice and making obedience his way of life is the real trick here. It helps that he really truly wants to get the answer right and he wants to please so much. His Placemat is hard for him but he has used it for up to an hour so far. He seems immediately certain that he is going to be left out of all the fun when I put him on his mat but after a little while he does park it and stay put.
The goal now is just to keep increasing the distractions and difficulty and get his commands proofed before he goes home.
