Rufous has been making incredible progress with his sound work training! Heโ€™s picking up the foundational skills at lightning speed and clearly enjoys the challenge. One of his favourite parts? Getting to jump into action when the alert sounds go off โ€” especially since it often means a tasty reward is on the way! In addition to focusing on sound alerts, Rufous has also been spending lots of time outdoors practicing his on- and off-leash manners, as well as sharpening his recall skills. He shows great enthusiasm and focus in everything he does!
