Great recall... Sepp and Faust will both come immediately when called. I haven't had to chase anybody through the yard in weeks now.
Both will automatically sit at the door and wait for a release command. No more barreling in or out.
Faust makes awesome eye contact. He literally "watches me" like a hawk, and I've started to teach him hand signals.
I can give them each a different command at the same time by combining it w/their names, and they both listen (for instance...Faust - sit, Seppel - down).
More duration w/"stay" and "wait"... the other day I told Faust to wait for his food, and ten minutes later he was still sitting in front of his bowl, drooling and looking all disgusted - but patiently waiting for me to tell him "okay". I had forgotten all about him...


The funniest thing happens at night though... after they both get some treats, I'll say: "No more... maybe tomorrow..." - and they'll both give a HUGE sigh, go to their beds, and fall asleep. It's nice not to have a begging snout in my face for the rest of the evening.

Takes a lot of patience and work to get them where I want them to be, but it's awesome to see results.
And my evil puppy is so stinkin' smart!



Baby steps... but I'm very happy!
