No seriously, I always been happy and proud that Titus turned the way he did, but tonight it was... overwhelming.
Maybe it's because I'm in vacation (finally!) or that it's so beautiful outside and our walks/jogs/play in the yard are ...better, he seems so happy in the snow, makes me want to move in Alaska heh.
But no, I came back from playing outside in the snow with him for a good hour and a half and went to take a warm bath. He followed me and stopped at the door, looking at me, I simply did the "sit" hand command, then "Down" (note, we recently had to work on the down a bit more, he "forgot" hehe) and then, the dreaded "Stay" which he usualy does for 30 seconds before getting tired of it.
but no, this time, he was aware, down, looking at me (pervert!?! :eek: heh) until I got out, dried up, took my bathrobe and told him to follow me, then I gave him a dried liver piece (after he sat all nicely when asked)
I dont know, since a while he's being soooo perfect, no more cage soiling since weeks now, asking the door by omg, barking (he now has an adult bark, since 4 days ago, it happen all of a sudden)
Maybe it's the harness training? He's definitely more aware until I started that (on that, thanks Gail P!!!!)
I'm just really, really proud of him ^^ He's happy, hes healthy and he's an amazing gentleman dog :)
