We’ve been enjoying having Gusty at our home. He has free run of the house with my three dogs during the day and is a perfect gentleman. He might find a shoe or two if you don’t pick your things up and put them away, but that’s really our fault, not his. We went to an obedience class last week just to see how he would do. He was nervous, particularly when the door opened and closed, but everyone loved him. The trainers all sat with him and talked about what a sweet, gentle dog he is. We made sure it was a fun adventure for him with lots of treats and pets, didn’t really ask him to do much regarding actual training, just wanted him to learn that he didn’t need to be scared. By the end of class, he was relaxed, lying by my feet. We’ve been working on “sit”. I don’t know what happened in his previous home, but asking him to sit, he turns in a circle and looks over his shoulder as he is placing his butt down, then wants to roll over into the submissive, don’t hurt me position. Poor baby. In the past few days, I’ve been able to get him to sit without rolling over, he still has to look around while he is getting in position, but we’re getting there. He can be a bit barky at the neighbors if they are outside, but he stops when asked and usually comes when called. He enjoys chasing tennis balls, not sure yet about bringing it back all the way to you, so I fetch as much as he does. He loves lying on the couch and watching tv with my husband or one of the dogs. He will be someone’s best friend.
