Ruger has been learning so many things in the 7 months since we saved him. This video is of a trick I am working with him on. He unties my shoes, takes my sock off and picks the sock up and hands it to me. I am layering this trick to get him to put clothes in the laundry basket. He is doing so well, with this trick and I am tickled by his enthusiasm.
Ruger is also coming along in Agility. He has no fear issues thank God. Ruger would jump through fire to get a hot dog. He has great focus and a wonderful work ethic. Ruger is also a sweet guy and though we had a very rough start (biting the carpet cleaning guy), he has come a long way in 7 months. I am hoping to enter him into some novice trials in the fall, maybe sooner if he masters the teeter! Ruger may never be the fastest, greatest Agility dog, but he is a lot of fun to be in the sport with.
My wins with Ruger have been a longer lead out and he doesn't go crazy barking when I put him up to walk a course. I enjoy him immensely, or as I said to Mike, "Ruger is a joy to have in class"!
