Risk

Risk continues to do really well and has really fit into our family so well. He just loves the kids and really misses them on the weekends. He gets upset when we are out walking at the campground and we go by a site with kids and we don't go in. Since we have to keep him on a tether at home he doesn't mind it at the campground so that is good. He does still like to perform his escape artist tricks but is getting better and at least now when he does escape he doesn't just run but rather just sniffs around and explores.

He has met a couple of dogs at the campground and has done well with them. One of the regular campers have just gotten a puppy and she and Risk have been playing together. They play a bit rough to suit the puppy's mom, but they really aren't hurting each other, just being puppies. We did have one incident with another dog though, but it was more our fault than the dogs. Friends of ours came out to visit with their 2 dogs and when they let the 1 out she came running into the campsite, barked and her and Risk got into a bit of a fight. I think she really took Risk by surprise and with her just running in he didn't know what he was suppose to do. We are going to try again only next time we will go about it much slower.

Also Risk is going to be going to school. I enrolled him in obedience classes today and they will start in July. They are adult classes and it sounds like it will do him alot of good. I took Bailey to puppy classes and I did learn alot there and have been using some of it on Risk but think some help from an instructor will be good. We are hoping that we can really work on his focus and get him used to paying attention for more than a nano second. Gary is going to come to the classes with me so that we are both on the same page.
