Rescue ~ Rehab ~ Rehome

All,

I think we have turned the corner with Otto (Marty). Having the

Thanksgiving week with him was perhaps the ticket!  

He is much more relaxed, seeking out attention, and obeying. I admit to

investing in an electronic collar, but it has allowed me to work with him

off leash which has been amazingly positive. His "freedom" has given both

of us confidence. He's understanding of boundaries and "runs" with the

other dogs, following their lead more and more. I still have concerns for

unexpected birds, squirrels and the like...that will be the test.

We spent thanksgiving at the cabin. There, he had great exercise

opportunities including off leash walks on the rails to trails and "practice

searches" through fields. His nose works OT outside! He is so fun to

watch.  

Cheers,
