Back to Work

A couple longer walks today to test his knee. Nothing seems out of the ordinary, so I think he is 100 percent. First outing today was to work to see Wendy. After seven months he finally met his dog food wholesale connection. Thanks Wendy. Lisa forgot to bring his pinch collar, so he was somewhat excitable and undisciplined. It was a good test to see how well he behaves with minimal correction. He did much better after he settled down a little

The other day I wrote about reintroducing the pinch collar. The collar is not used often to pinch, however without it we had a difficult time getting his attention. Once you get his attention he will remain attentive. Corrections are much more difficult using the flat collar.

There was a spare choke collar in the puppy bag. The choke collar doesn't work as well because it slides down his neck to a less effective location. However, it seemed to get his attention during the following two shopping trips and dinner out. He listened well, but wasn't tired enough to remain down during the entire dinner. He was a little fidgety

Buddy is officially back to work.
