Tristan is doing great with training - the only thing holding him back from perfection is all that puppy-exuberance!
To the list of achievements in his little autobiography (a few messages down) we can add the following:
He now sleeps all night in the crate with no whining. During the day, he has a habit of falling asleep under my chair. He waddles into his crate and flops down quite happily when I wake him up and say, "Go to your crate."
He's still quite attached to me, but is gradually widening his territory. Today we went for a car ride with him in the crate. We left him for about 20 minutes where we could watch the car. He must have been quiet because people who walked past the car didn't even look in (and they certainly would have if Tristan was upset - he has quite a voice!) When we came back to the car, he was just lying quietly, not at all concerned.
Tristan is also a great walker. Until a couple of days ago, he didn't want to leave the house. He would brace himself against the leash until we turned around to come home. But now he accepts the leash in any direction. Yesterday, we went for what I calculate to be about a mile, and he trotted along beside me the whole way.
And last, Tristan has learned to sit with the big dogs and wait for his supper. That took a lot of self-control because he is one hungry little guy!
