Training Notes:

JC has gone back to Princeton with her friend Raison to complete her journey and be matched with someone who needs a working buddy.  I was her WPR and she was with me full time for about 4 weeks after Duke came.  I miss her more than I ever thought I would, she was a great companion, easy and sweet.  I am eagerly waiting for word of a match for her. 

Rubin 1023~So much for "Rubin doesn't like the water"~OMG!  He dove off the dock at our Hopkinton State Park excursion class last Saturday, then was a great help at the NEADS booth at Paramount Harley Davidson.  No fears, no worries, he's solid as a rock.
WPR:  Obedience in public.  He's a bit salty since puberty has hit.  ;) 

Richie 1051~Richie is my new boy, a 7 month old smooth coat collie.  He is smart and willing, but does have some prey/herding drives as well as a bit of fear in public so we're taking everything slowly with him.  Paul is concentrating on obedience and attention and I will take him out soon.

Duke 1083~Duke owns the world...or at least he thinks he does!  I don't know the last time I have seen a more confident puppy.  He is afraid of nothing, somewhat disrespectful but not completely, and needs to be with dogs that will stand up to him a bit. 
WPR:  Daycare is on the list for Duke, as often as possible.
