Puppy Progress

Bodie is soooo much better in the backyard!  We think the longline did its job, enough that we have not been using it this week.  He comes in when we want him to, and the barking has really calmed down.  He still barks, of course, especially with noisy trail users, but it is not the frantic barking from earlier in the summer.

I just wonder how he will react when we have a handyman come to the house today?  I will be at work, so my sweetie will have to handle it.  I hope it goes smoothly.

A Tired Dog is a Good Dog!

No More Detention!

Remedial recess went well yesterday.  The trainer had several dogs to test/train Bodie - a fully grown German Shepherd Dog, a fully grown Belgian Malinois, a young Malinois and a puppy Poodle mix (who is the class bully in his puppy class).  And Bodie was a good boy!  He played really nicely.  The two trainers there said that Bodie showed no signs of dog aggression - he is just too rambunctious.  We will just need to shadow him during play session.  But the other puppy in class who was acting up last week will not be returning.  :(  She was already in private training for being too aggressive and should not have been in the puppy class.
