[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Day 1 was a success! Exhausting but a success. He has been so good. There was a steady improvement from morning to evening. The advice about walks and other dogs was effective, not the first time around, but by the end of the day, he wasn’t even reacting to other dogs which seemed miraculous. He went on 5 walks yesterday.

The kids and I also taught him a few new tricks on his first day, he is such a clever dog and seemed to be excited about doing them. Or maybe he just wanted the treats, ha.

He also started coming to us when called and just listening better.  He still gets very easily overexcited, and jumps on people to greet them. Working on that.

But boy, dogs are a lot of work! I can see why my in laws were tired. He is super sweet and overall a really good dog though and seems to have adjusted pretty easily to our house and family. We even were able to leave him home in his cage for a little while we went out for something. He didn’t seem to thrilled but it was a good sign that he wasn’t still making a fuss when we returned. He does have a very loud bark!

He lunged for a hiding cat on one of our walks, and will often lunge and bark like crazy at other critters he sights. But this is getting better too.  Thanks again for all the helpful advice!
