Training notes, 102710

Rubin1023~Rubin just turned 13 months and is doing excellent work.  I am hoping to get his experience sheet done soon so he will be completely ready to go in December/January.

Merlin1059~Merlin is still in puberty and is kind of an airhead...forgets to heel, is a bit impulsive about people food, etc.  When he's working he's great, it's the work that's interspersed with periods of not working where he gets into a bit of trouble.  I have no doubts about him, they all do it, he will come out of it soon.

Duke1083~Duke is really maturing, I see him as an adult soon and he makes me very proud.  He is retrieving to hand better than any of my others, he can stand and brace for long periods, and he is learning to ignore other dogs in a working context without a problem.

Chopper 1075~Chopper is still really small.  He cannot hit the light switch with his nose without jumping up for it.  His task is good, his obedience is ok~puberty.  He is not a dog that loves kids, so WPRs are working on that.  No other issues.
