I guess it's true what they say - if you're around a dog every day you don't realise how much it's grown. That's certainly true with Dylan! I took some new pictures of him today - I can't believe how big he's gotten!
I also can't believe what a fast learner he is! In the last two weeks we have learnt:
- To drop the ball at my feet when retrieving.
- To catch a ball/frisbee in mid air
- To ignore joggers/other dogs in the park
- To wait before crossing the road (we 'wait' for 1 or 2 cars to go past, we 'sit' if there's a stream of traffic)
- To walk to heel reasonably well (he still pulls slightly if a bike goes past but getting better every day)
- To give a paw
And we're working on 'spin'. He was spinning in circles whilst waiting for me to throw the ball so I added a cue and now he does it 60% of the time.
Here he is, my handome boy.
