Henry is in the full proofing stage. He has had a successful walk downtown, he does well off-leash, he knows his words and is responsive. what he needs now is for these things to become his way of life and that requires his folks to have high expectations of his behavior and obedience and help him to reach those expectations.
In the house he has become a polite and easy to live with fellow. Occaisional reminders not to rough-house or get too nosy in the kitchen. But mostly he has settled well into the daily life of the house here. He has been able to stay on Place for 1.5 hours without incident in a relatively calm environment. He struggles to stay on Place of the house is lively but that will get better with time.
I am pleased with how far Henry has come. He is still Henry and his sense of humor and energy are not gone at all. But he is easier to instruct now and we can harness that energy into constructive solutions for his behavior.
