Hermon here.
October has been busy and fun with lots of outings.
ย 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.
Iโve been for lots of walks on trails and through forests; the air is cold and tree colours are pretty.ย Most of the time I stay on leash – when I see another dog I just want to go and say hi and play but Iโm not allowed.ย We are working hard on that and I am supposed to be learning to ignore them.ย Sometimes I get an off leash run and Iโm 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.ย Itโs getting easier to sit for longer now.ย Exploring for treasures around the house, in bags, in cupboards, in the recycling box and on tables is what I really enjoy, but Iโm not allowed.ย They say Iโm impulsive and we are trying to work on that.ย I had my first visit to a coffee shop, too, and I was really well behaved.ย All in all Iโm settling in and adjusting to my new home.
