When
we got him, he was 8 months old, and being a puppy, was extremely
naughty, and would really try our patience, and alpha. And at that time,
we were still not really 'with it' in the doggy world. So we didn't
know how to really control him.
Now,
at three years old, he has finally mellowed down, is more
mature, but with a lot of consistency and training, he is a much better
behaved dog. He knows the limits (hopefully), he's getting there anyway.
Previously,
getting him to down was a tough job, and he hated it. He would feel so
stressed and stiff. But now, the grooming he gets daily (which he loves)
and slowly, he is 'down'ing more often, and even rolling
over(voluntarily), which was even out of the question before.
He's also a great watchdog and guard dog. He is 'almost' fearless (only being scared of thunder and fireworks).
He LOVES people and is a very confident boy.
