Proud of this Pup

Sonny continues to dazzle and thrive! At this point, he knows all his commands, and his trainer’s time with him is more about furthering bond-building and keeping things fun. He is always happy to perform and eager to please.

His trainer plays a game with him when he’s working on further polishing his leash-walking (which he is already excellent at). His trainer alters the speed to make sure he’s paying attention, and sure enough he remains in position, glued to his left hip and staring up at him with a smile and his big beautiful eyes. You can see it in his expression – “look how good I’m doing!” It’s impossible not to be proud of him.

Sonny is always so focused on diligently working with his trainer that he often forgets how young he is. It’s fun to break out of their routine and stop to let another trainer say hello and play with him a little. His youthful playfulness bursts out in those moments, and reminds his trainer what a spunky, fun fella he is.

Having been around countless dogs throughout his life, his trainer admits he has rarely seen such a disarmingly, naturally lovable hound.
