The boys are coming right along. They both have come along well with their commands. Still working on Down and Implied Stay but if I’m patient with them they get it eventually. They are both slow to respond to commands and they (Niles especially) will sometimes try to run from work or throw a fit. But he is also the one who soaks up the affection the most so while he is more likely to buck he also tries a little harder to get it right once he is in working mode. Frasier enjoys training but is obstinate and sometimes tries to wait me out or take corrections before he responds.
They are gentle dogs who require soft handling but also big ol’ babies who need discipline. They are an excellent example of dogs needing balanced training with care taken to give praise and discipline at the level which helps them learn.
Ive introduced them to their remotes but so far am only using it to clean up household behaviors (like shoe theft!). They need to be on their prong collars for a little longer before we make that transition.
