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.
Iβve 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 Iβm 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 Iβm 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 Itβs 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 Iβm not allowed.Β They say Iβm 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 Iβm settling in and adjusting to my new home.
