Rudy did fine today. He mostly got practice with house time and Down/Stay. His house manners aren't bad because he is a defiant dog but he is so busy busy busy that he never stops moving. We worked on trying to slow his brain down a little and getting him to stay in one place. We found a nylabone toy he liked and that was his motivation. He was not allowed to carry it around while he Buffaloed over the living room. Instead he could have it on his bed, in his crate, or when he was lying down. This worked for the most part but if the toddler had a snack he lost the motivation for the bone, understandably.
He is making good progress and with the Winter Weather Advisory I foresee more inside practice tomorrow as well. But he climbs the walls without some focused exercise everyday so we will be walking unless there are really bad weather conditions, which are not forecasted.
For now Rudy is happily snoozing in his crate with his bone.
