At this point, Raider Budge knows all his commands: sit, down, down/stay, sit/stay (a little bit slower on this one,), here, heel, shake, bed, stairs, wait and kennel. He's been a wonderful dog to work with and his handler was so proud when he demonstrated a steady down/stay while the assessor walked around, over and past him. Due to his joint handlers' work schedules, he gets plenty of exercise, walking around the track, jogging a few laps, or just being allowed to roam free off leash. He loves it all. His reward is time spent in the kiddie pool; this boy enjoys the water. Raider Budge is very easy going and gets along with everyone and all the dogs. He loves to interact with people and will lean in for a good head and neck scratch.
