The whole is never big enough! I don't think Daniel is a natural digger but he cannot resist exploring a whole made by Thomas our greyhound. Of course after that digging a nap is in order.
This morning I was called outside to have a look at Daniel. Turns out Dan had discovered a toad and at the time I looked out the door he was foaming a great deal at the mouth. I never did find the toad but I think he got the upper hand or mouth. I can't wait to see if he learned his lesson.
Daniel has been going on many outings lately. I have been getting him use to the sights and sounds of stores, churches and libraries. Last week we were at the Mall of America and after about 2 hours he was very tired but still being a great dog.
Training is consisting of sit, wait ( he has to wait before he gets to go in his kennel to eat, he has to wait at the door before he gets let outside and also before he can come inside, this teaches Daniel not to charge the door and possible run someone over) , the down command is being introduced slowly. What we work on the most is fetching and this is always done in a very up beat way. When Daniel is finished in his mind with this we stop the exercise so he only knows ending on a good note.
