This week I began teaching Neumann a few new skills. So far he can sit, remain in a sit until released, he can touch my hand with his nose, he knows his name, comes when called, plays appropriate tug games, plays chase me games, will follow me in my training building, walks over the contact trainer, walks over the buja board, and will stand on the perch in his two on two off position. He has walked through a tunnel and chute barrel on his own without me asking him to do it. He plays well with others, he seems to especially like big dogs. He best friend is little Lillee the welsh terrier. It won't be long and Neumann will be bigger than her. Look out Lillee!!
His confidence continues to grow and his shyness is no longer apparent. I may be creating a monster!! His little boy hormones are kicking in and I did see him lift his leg at the end of a potty the other night. I am hoping he just lost his balance.
More soon....

What a smart little boy. He has learned a lot in the short time you have had him. I love reading what new adventures he has each day. Keep up the good work.

I second that praise from Char! Thanks Char for letting us come and socialize and work at your place while the puppies were little. All three pup' are doing fantastic and for sure it is because of our training early on at your place. Thanks a bunch! Now even a BIGGER thanks to my second mommy for Neumann! Thanks for loving my little "pistol"!! We look forward to the many updates. Hugs to that little boy!! Becky
