So I had to travel for my old job pretty much 100% of the time and the first month+ for my new one in Charlotte which means I've been without my puppy dog (except on weekends) for about a year. Thankfully that ended this weekend and we've been bro-ing out since Friday - I'm never doing that ever again.
That is awesome.
Starting Monday, we let Amber stay out during the day while we're at work. We'd been building up to it over the past few months, leaving her out of her crate a few hours at a time and increasing the time. We've had her just over a year, so its about the same amount of home training we did with Harvey before letting him out during the day. So far she's done great, no accidents or destruction. She had so much energy in the afternoons from being crated all day, so now when I arrive home its nice that she's been able to expend some of her energy throughout the day. She is much more calm and submission, and is listening a lot better.
I came across this story earlier this morning. Its about a Medivac Helicopter that transported a Police K-9, which ended up saving his life. Its a nice feel good story on a morning when I could use one. http://www.firerescue1.com/fire-dep...-we-airlifted-injured-K-9-to-animal-hospital/
