Max - 8 January 2013

11.00pm:     Let Max off lead with second group in an enclosed park. His interaction with other dogs is getting better. He is not constantly in their faces. Though he was a bit too rowdy for an elderly labrador. He decided to follow a large pointer who jumped over the meter high fence. When we got Max back, he had forgotten how to jump across the fence. He seems to be constantly learning behaviours from other dogs, though remembering is another matter.

2.00pm:     The dogs enjoyed the water overflow in the park, especially Max who rolled in it and drank from it. Max is still finding his feet in the pack dynamics. He seems to try out new packs. If a dog walks past, he will follow them, even if they are going in the opposite direction. We need to train up his recall and following skills, which we will throughly focus on once he settles in.

5.00pm:   Took Max to the vet. He will be coming home tomorrow.
