Duke is making outstanding progress in his training. He has now mastered an advanced move--called "post." He starts about 3 feet in front of Cameron, and then walks around Cameron and ends up sitting on Cam's left side--all with just one verbal command.
Duke had his first outings this weekend. He went to Albertsons, Target, church, and In-and-Out Burger (three different days). He behaved like a perfect gentleman, staying by Cameron's side the entire time that he walked through the stores. He stayed down during the entire preaching part of the service, without a peep. He also stayed down the entire time we ate lunch at the restaurant. These are tremendous accomplishments for a four month old puppy--especially for his first times out.
