Couldn't be prouder

As stated before in a couple of my other posts, I have an about 11 month old puppy, and a non fenced yard. I for the most part take him out on lead to do anything outside but every once in a while when there seems to be no distractions, like tonight, I let him off lead to do his thing.

So we're outside and he just went pee when we hear a rustle and we both look up to see a bunny scurrying away from us, Ron stands tall in his dominant Rott pose and I can tell he wants to do what I think he's going to do, but I quickly go "Heyyy Ron, stay here, stay home", and he just keeps standing like that staring at this rabbit running around, and doesn't move an inch...so I say "good dog, lets go inside and get a treat" he looks at me and turns his back to the bunny as it's still in site and goes with me off lead to get his treat inside.

I have worked so hard with him to be good outside because my other dog (hound mix) was soooo absolutely terrible, and I am so happy it's paying off

(Of course now that I'm bragging how good he is I bet he's going to poop in his cage tonight or something)

Congratulations! You have every right to be proud of your boy. Ron really earned that treat

Congratulations!!!! Specially with such temptations.. It just shows what time n dedication can be achieved with a Pup.

Congrats. I love that about my Dixie too. We do not have a fenced yard either, and she will not leave the yard (1/2 acre).

That said, we are always with her, she's never alone outside off leash. Another thing about it, they love us dearly. I swear... Dixie would rather die then to leave us, she loves her home.

Dixie was "trained" to do this and to love us so much by her mentor Jesse. It was very smart to get the pup before Jesse went to the bridge. She was so devoted, and thats what we wanted from Dixie as well. That's what we got too! :)

You've every right to be proud! You've been working hard at his training and it paid off. NAAH! He won't be a poopin' in his crate tonight. But... he's 11 months old, still he'll have to face this challenge again. Proofing takes a long time.
