He couldn't be happier. Now he has a giant yard to sniff out sticks and run to his hearts content. He's far calmer now too as he's definitely one to try and "protect" his area/people. There's a reactive dog across the street that barks at him and he just doesn't care because w/e it's not in "his" space. So it was always a little bit of management in the apartment complex with tons of other dogs and "strange" people. The most interesting thing imo is he feels far less of a need to be in the same room at the house as me. He's still my shadow but it won't be unusual for him to be chilling in the next room or something where that just didn't happen in the apartment. I still plan on working with a trainer this summer to work on his neutrality some. He's an amazing dog though and will spit out treats if he thinks he can get a better one and will negotiate to either go outside or give him a pupscicle by brining me my shoes or the leash and if I refuse will bring me the pupscicle treat holder. BTW best treat ever imo. I just freeze PB with some of his treats and use the molds they sell.
