I don't really know where to start. I've been really busy lately. I've been spending most of my time with my new dog. He needs a lot of training. The previous owners, who are awesome people and I love, let him develop some bad habits.
He spends most of the time inside the house with me. Not only because he was attention starved at his old place and loves being around someone who pays attention to him but there's a few things he needs to learn before I let him run around our 10 acres by himself. He sits and lays down on command pretty well but he hardly ever comes to you when you call him if he's found something else to do, which needs to change. He also has TONS of energy that he needs to learn how to focus into something other then jumping and barking.
He also goes crazy when I'm somewhere he can't get to. When I take him outside to go potty I put him on a long leash or on a 50 foot line next to the house. He's perfectly content when he's on those to stay close to me but still roams around a bit. But if he's on the line next to the house and I walk away to go get the mail and he can't be right next to me he flips out and starts barking and jumping. Also I've left him alone here at the house twice so I could run out for 10-15 minutes to go drop something in the mail or pick up more food for him and he scratches at the door and howls.
He needs a bunch of work but each day we are seeing a little progress.
