I got to see oakkley yesterday for the first time in over a month!! It was only for an hour..
He was SOOOOO excited to see us...i was so scared he wouldnt remember us, or wouldnt want to come home or something...but no, he was sooo happy!!
The trainer said he loves oakley...he said he would take him in an instant if we offered, lol, and that he rarely has a dog like that! He also told us that oakley must have husky in him...cause his face/skull are very much shaped like a husky, and he has many husky traits...and that oakley is a BRAT, lol
But we were walking oakley off leash around the neighborhood...he was GLUED to our sides, when he'd see a squirrel...and his ears got all perked, we just had to say "easy" and he would instantly stop paying attn to it. When we stop, he sits, and when we say "down" he hits the floor in split second...hes so cute...we told him to stay, and he we were walking like half a block away from him, and you could tell he wanted to follow us so bad...but he stayed! He was definately scared of getting shocked though...the trainer was saying he usually doesnt act as scared...but he is VERY confused, being back in the old neighborhood, and is used to being able to do what he wants...and now he cant, so he has to learn that.
we only learned "lets go" "easy" "sit" "down", and then the coolest one ( i think) is "Okay" while tapping him on the head...that means he is free to play...and he was demonstrating how the tap is important, so that way, when you are talking to someone and you say "okay" oakley doesnt take off, lol...when he said that, you could see oakley all tensing up, ready to play, lol, it was so cute! and then we just tapped him and said "okay" and he kinda ran off, then came back...and ran off, and checked back in with us, lol to make sure that he really was allowed to play.
i get to see him again today! Ill let you guys know how that goes!!
