Hermon here.

October has been busy and fun with lots of outings.

Β My raiser now has decided that training and walks before lunch might tire me out and so we keep active.

After a kennel nap we practice my duration downs, which is getting easier.

I’ve been for lots of walks on trails and through forests; the air is cold and tree colours are pretty.Β  Most of the time I stay on leash – when I see another dog I just want to go and say hi and play but I’m not allowed.Β  We are working hard on that and I am supposed to be learning to ignore them.Β  Sometimes I get an off leash run and I’m really good and stay close to the kibble.

 

We play a fun game where I have to sit and wait whilst my raiser walks away, then she gives me a yes command and I can move.Β  It’s getting easier to sit for longer now.Β  Exploring for treasures around the house, in bags, in cupboards, in the recycling box and on tables is what I really enjoy, but I’m not allowed.Β  They say I’m impulsive and we are trying to work on that.Β  I had my first visit to a coffee shop, too, and I was really well behaved.Β  All in all I’m settling in and adjusting to my new home.
