So PROUD of my boy!

OK... excuse this thread, but I just feel like gushing. My Hudson is SUCH A GOOD BOY! Since he got suddenly so much healthier, I decided that it was time to kick the training into high gear about a week ago.

Well, in ONE WEEK, he's gotten 100% reliable on "sit" (which he knew before), excellent on "wait", pretty good on "down" (50% of the time needs placement), he can "stay" while I walk into the next room and come back in, he understands "leave it", he shakes hands, and he's learned to stop pulling on the lead when I say "don't pull". The only thing he knew one week ago was "sit", and he sometimes still needed placement on that.

I didn't intend to teach him so many commands in one week, but he just kept exceeding my expectations!!! It's almost like he just naturally understands English! He is totally amazing me! :hail:

How awesome you have every right to be so proud. I just hope my little guy catches on with such ease.....

Thanks guys! I'm really in awe of him today... I can show him his favorite treat, tell him to leave it, then put it down on the floor right in front of him, and he just looks at me waiting for the ok or for another command!

Believe me, it's not my training skills... I've never trained a dog before!

I took him with me to the wine shop last night, and he was sitting next to me in line. He was obviously excited and wanted to be walking around and checking people out, but he was being so good. People in line thought he was professionally obedience trained!
