Well my pal Sonny goes home tomorrow. He has made enormous stride these last two weeks. He is a classic bird dog in that his drive and work ethic make him a rewarding and satisfying dog to work with. He responds well to commands and is sensitive to correction so not much is needed.
His obedience commands are reliable though he gets sloppy if he is very excited. But it’s possible to keep him on task with reminders and high expectations. He knows his words well and so letting sloppy answers slide will make him lazy. But if you expect really good reliability from him and accept nothing else he delivers well.
I’m going to miss this fellow racing around the high pasture but I love that his owner is going to enjoy him so much. Sonny was a blast and I look forward to our follow ups down the road.
