Duke

C&C focused K9 notes 4/21/26 (working with Duke 3x a week) Duke has been working hard to be the best version of himself as he looks his forever human. Duke would flourish as a dog trainer's partner. Someone who understands the importance of maintaining structure and proper socialization. <br/>Duke knows his basic commands responding at a mild/moderate level of distance, duration and distraction. He is very neutral in public and quickly understands what is expected when given clear communication. He has demonstrated that he knows proper dog social queues when playing. Duke has great leash etiquette understanding leash pressure and can walk along side dogs and people without needing to meet them. Duke is ecollar trained and typically is used as a backup since responds well to verbal commands. When working in off leash training, he does well staying close by and will recall with low drive (walks back to you versus running). We have worked on going into a crate but haven't seen how he actually does being crated yet. <br/>As amazing as he is, he relies on the confidence of the handler as he continues to build his own confidence. He is a power breed with natural stranger danger that he is still working through with formal introductions and then is the sweetest love bug. Even when he is unsure he responds quickly to commands.
