Hi Sandra...
Just thought that we’d send along an update on Rupert for you...along with a couple of photos of him enjoying the deck...
We
are really loving our new boy...he is so well behaved in the house and
just loves the couch...he isn’t fond of cameras though so we have a
tough time getting good shots of him...he’s developed a real fondness
for the rope in the photos and would play tug or fetch with this rope
all day long!!!
His
leash walking is much improved, with the help of a few lessons for us
with a great obedience trainer here in the area...it is a process but he
is much better than he was and doesn’t pull nearly so much on the
leash...we have an appointment coming up with someone who can help with
his issues with other large male dogs but it hasn’t been a problem so
far so...fingers crossed. Off leash is still a bit of a problem as the
many squirrels seem to love to taunt him and he loves to chase!! He is
learning that he can’t climb trees and that they are a bit of a waste of
energy which is good...
The
weather is getting nice so we will be introducing Rupert to his “beach”
down the street very soon and will forward some photos of his first
swimming adventure over the next week or two!
Thanks
again, so very much, for all that you do for these pups at Newf
friends, Sandra...Rupert is wonderful and we do love him dearly...he is a
great addition to our family for sure!
We’ll be in touch again soon!
Maggi
