Echo went to the UW Vet Clinic for an eye exam with three of his OccuPaws pals. It turns out that he has a small fold on the periphery, which isn't a big deal. Archie is a little far-sighted and the two brothers Deegan and Slick were perfect.
According to the Puppy Coordinator they all behaved superbly during the visit. She walked into the office with three puppies in tow. No pulling and they sat "on command" to the amazement of the other pet owners.
At training class, we started indoors. Suprisingly, none of the dogs reacted to the doorbell or knocking on the door or windows. Outside they were tested with STAY commands and a plethora of distractions. Echo did good on STAY and recalls, of course he needs more practice. His name fits him well, as he will repeat the action of the other dogs.
Back inside for the highlight of the evening. The puppies were let loose to observe their in house / off leash behavior. If not for Buddy's high energy, the puppies probably would have done better. To help Echo, we need to improve Buddy's manners.
