Sounds like you're really putting the time in. Good.
Ruperts play consists of fetching sticks,catching frisbees (He's a killer frisbee dog) swimming,zooming,tug of war at night and one of those mind engaging toys he has to get treats out of.
If you don't know what zooming is,it's when they just take off and rip around in the lawn or field full bore. Growling at me as he goes by at 30m.p.h. Just sheer joy to be running.
Yes. I know zooming. My Boston Terrier does it usually after dropping a no. 2. Every so often he does it when we have guests. He speeds past me at some point stops and turns on a dime. Then continues to speed on through the yard or home.
My new guy, Robert has been mostly walking and training. In evening I let him chill with me. He just lies lazily but actively chews his chew toys. His body is lying down and wiggling and moving around a lot. Nights ago, I took him walking at a new place near my part time job after work. It was Friday night and there's a gentleman's club, a bar, and night club near by. We walked past the noise and people. He did well. The booming music didn't bother him. Only one guy taking a picture of the Dallas skyline freaked him out a bit, so Robert barked at him. We got to see the electric trains, people boarding. A loud mouthed security guard barking, "Pretty dog going for a walk! Good dog!" He wasn't bothered then either. Pretty calm with my friends and family on leash when I visit them too.
Robert is such a funny dog. I get him to climb things, but he goes the extra distance and goes for the harder stuff too. He does it slowly and with some puppy whining. I don't force it on him. Today I walked him past some obstacles that I had used for his challenges. He automatically starts climbing up and down things, and he does it quick without any problem. I don't know if he just loves challenges or he does it for treats. I don't give him treats usually when he does things I don't ask or want to reinforce.
