Well almost 2 weeks now with this puppy. He is definitely settling in. I am still working on him not attacking feet and hands. I think it's going to be a long couple months of "fucking leave it!!" But on all other fronts he is doing well with positive reinforcement. We take him out often, so not many accidents in the house and he knows the "go potty" command. Crate training is pretty much done. He loves it knowing a tasty treat is coming if he goes in. And then on the funner fronts I have successfully taught him come, sit and up. He really responds well to treat based rewards. And he loves playing rope tug o war and chewing on these beef skin chews I got him. All in all with lots of training I think he'll be a well rounded family dog. This breed apparently held the record some years ago for most commands executed in a minute at 29. So I think a "make me coffee" command is within reach.
