Lyle spent the weekend from 4pm Friday to 4pm Sunday with an alternate handler. He settled right in with her and was very good, calm and attentive in the dorm and lying on a bed in the day room. Saturday he had fun with a plush toy - was very happy and pushed the toy around the floor, his tail wagging away! Both days he spent time on the field playing the "here" game, responding very well to the snack shaker and getting quite excited, enjoying the game. While out on the field he responded well to his commands. He especially liked to do a shake. He also went over on his own to the stairs and the ramp to go up and down them. He's confident going up, a little more careful coming down. Overall Lyle was a joy to be with for his weekend handler.
