Leroy is a lovely boy and has been settling into the house nicely and he and my pet dog are quickly becoming friends. We have been working on settling skills around each other and that it is not always play time. Leroy has been making progress and increasing his confidence going up and down the front and back steps. Being from a singleton litter he is very good at entertaining himself however he also really enjoys his cuddle time.
September 2023
Leroy has been working on new skills such as impluse control, cuddling and drop it. He has been learning all the basics of PK and grade school. He spends lots of time learning along his NSD friends and is growing into a very smart, happy boy.

NSD Leroy continues to progress with his training and is a wonderful guy to have around. When it is time to go out in public and work he is on and extremely attentive. When at home he shuts off and is very settled. Leroy loves people and gets very excited when people come into his space to say hello so we are continuing to work on our meet & greets and have him focus on his handler and keep all four paws on the ground.

Leroy is in High School now and has been working on some new skills such as back-up and is also fine tuning some of the other skills he has learned along the way. We are continuing to work on our Meet and Greets and have definitely made some progress as a team. Leroy enjoys getting out in the snow for some play time to blow off some steam with his friends. As he has gotten older he has become a little more cuddly with both myself and my pet dog.
