Cody is growing beautifully. I have found his character to be stable and his confidence is growing daily. He is friendly to all animals and people so far. He has strong shepherd tendencies, and welcomes everyone into his herd — but still cries and shows mild distress whenever anyone leaves the group. He lets me groom him and brush his teeth.
His obedience training is moving ahead. We are working to perfect his sit-stay and down-stay, and I will soon add a stand-stay. He responds to the following commands: sit, down, stand, lay head, up, off, lap, leave it, go under, out, go kennel, let’s go.
I am having some trouble teaching “take it”, and he doesn’t really get “tug”, although he will start to drag a laundry basket (empty, of course) and he will try to open a door on command, although he doesn’t pull hard enough yet.
His favorite game is to to go up and down the kiddie slides in the playground.
I will try to send a picture soon.
Shabbat shalom, Shari
