Dugal

How’s he doing? Fantastic! I don’t believe I’ve ever heard him bark. He doesn’t whine. When he wants to go out, he speaks. VERY obedient. I’ve trained him to walk with me by dropping the short leash, and if he started to go ahead of me, I stepped on the leash, pulling him up short. He quickly learned to walk next to me without the leash. Housebroken working well. I don’t know what is in his past, but he heads for my closet when I let him into the house. He won’t lay or sleep anywhere else. Any ideas or info?

Duke

December 3, 2009 Duke went with us on an extended Thanksgiving weekend to Northern Michigan. He played outside, hiked in the woods, sat by the fire and ate lots of good treats. Duke did WONDERFUL on his little vacation with us and traveled well. He is doing pretty good walking on a leash, he still wants to zig zag a bit, but if reminded settles down, walks more by your side. When he sees his leash he will sit right in front of you waiting for the leash to be put on him. Needless to say, Duke really enjoys going for his walks. He knows several basic commands will “stay inside” when the door is open or the fence gate. He is very patient when asked to “wait” and comes running at a drop of the hat when called. Duke is a very loyal boy; he wants to be where his people are and is always open to some belly rubs.
