So in our first week with Hudson we went through a pretty easy introduction phase. Hudson slept right through the night and with only one exeption we got really lucky since then. Hudson sleeps right through the nights we only go out with him short before we go to bed and then first thing at 6am.
The House Training remains an on going process but we managed to get him out and about with very short walks in this week. Enough for him to relieve himself and get out some.
We also managed to keep him occupied and in this time my partner took him out and they met many other dogs and the first Training steps where taken. In this week alone my partner managed to train Hudson to be a fantastic Leash walker. Her patience and commitment to the challenge blossomed and her hard work and dilligence has resulted in our Hudson being realy easy to walk. He rarely pulls and seldom do we have trouble with him on the line. It really goes to show how much a little work can pay off to add to the enjoyment of a stress free relationship.
The 3 basic commands that we practiced where Sit and Heel. These where the 2 things we thought would be best taught first.
We live in an apartment in a city and, although we have a green strip right on our door step we need to cross a busy street to get to the nearest green. At that busy road are bike paths on both sides, so we wanted to keep him safe by giving us the tools to put him in an easy to control situation at those points. Luckily for us, Hudson is not sensitive to cars and bikes at this stage. Neither at night nor during the day does Hudson react negatively to either.
