Today Chumleigh Junior and I stayed home to work on his obedience commands. I introduced and conditioned him to the ecollar. We practiced commands Sit and Place. He did very well and caught on to his new command quickly. He did well sleeping in the crate at night, but gave me some trouble during the day. He just wanted to stay out and play with his friends all day and not take any rest breaks. Chumleigh did great on his first day of training!
