Back to School

Tonight's the night. First night of Intermediate Obedience Training. Winter seems pretty excited. Well, any time you move his leash, he gets really excited. Certainly a new and wonderful excursion.

One thing I really want to hit hard in the next coming months is our walking with Bailey, our other dog. When it's just Winter, he's amazing on walks. Rarely leaves my side, doesn't pull (Which is crazy since he's a pulling breed), etc. However, toss another dog in the mix, and it's a fight for who's out front. I think I'm going to take some time tonight with our trainer and talk about some things we can work on together with him and other dogs.

All in all though, I'm very proud of far he's come. That first week with us, while a very affectionate, loving, and smart dog, he didn't seem to grasp the simple things, like sit, down, or even his name.

We still have some problems with him listening to Geoff, but through more work, he's going to get that it's not just me that's in charge. He's stuck with both of us.

And I'm so very glad we're stuck with him.
