Diego has definitely found his inner puppy and has really been enjoying his dog time since parole, surgery, and dog bite. He's fully healed and we're working on some basic obedience and house breaking. Here's a quick rundown:Great progress:
* Sit
* Stay
* Playful with kids (he's a natural clown), never a sign of agression.
* On-leash healing. Diego doesn't pull hard when walking/running and will heal with constant reminder. He would make a great running partner. He's at least put in several miles with me helping me to train for the AT&T marathon.
Needs improvement:
- House training (still pees in the house)
- Crate training (has a bit a separation anxiety, but is getter better alone in his crate)
- Off leash healing - He will usually stick to another dominant dog when off leash. However, because he's so pack oriented he's never been inclined to run away when given the chance. If he runs out the front door all I have to do is close it and he runs back (out of fear I presume).
- Knowing his toys - He's still a puppy and unattended kids toys are free game as far as he's concerned.
