Today was learning the formal command for "come" and also starting to work with him on the que for stay.He has al the others down perfectly...he gets very bored now with the basic sit,down command.He also now has "drop it" down perfectly..as soon as he brings the ball to me I don't even have to say anything,he'll just drop it at my feet and look up at me..AWESOME!!! Before he would run all around me with the ball and it would take 5 minutes to get the darned thing away from him,lol.He is starting to sit more readinly as soon as I stop walking. After training we took hjim to the park for his walk and socialization for the day.We already have him enrolled in the next class that will start immidiatly after this one is done.
Gemina: LMAO!!!! OMG! I haven't thought about that in a long time!! My old dalmatian Patch would go into our garden and pick his own cherry tomatoes and eat them.Actually,Damien has never has one taste of table food.I hope that he never does either...Gemina...everything you remember about Patch...go to the COMPLETE oppisite side of the spectrum for Damien,lol.Patch HATED being sprayed with the hose,Damien will sit BY the hose till you spray him.Patch LOVED being brushed...don't bother Damien with such pettiness,LOL!!!! I cannot wait for you to meet him!!! Come soon!!!
