It is really nice out there, with a large fenced in area in the park that has 2 sections. The first couple of times out there, Duke wouldn't leave our sides even with his leash off. He would even stay right next to us as we walked along the path. After the first few times, he would run ahead of us on the track a bit, but always be checking to make sure we followed. He would also leave our side to go beg for attention from other people, but he still ignored other dogs.
Progress is good.
We are pretty much ready now, but we want him to be a bit more comfortable first. I haven't been posting, but there really hasn't been anything to say. My life is very boring. Work, go to the dog park with Duke, eat, sleep, repeat. That's about it.
