At the beach on Sunday Chompsky was TERRIFIC, coming every time we called and staying close - I think this is payoff for previously calling him when he got a little too far (instead of calling him when he was way way far) and rewarding him every single time. He had a great time too, though he didn’t go swimming!
Victor and Sonja dogsat him Sunday afternoon / evening and he was apparently quite good - he was SUPER EXCITED to see them (as always) and barely noticed us leaving. He was left in his crate for a few hours until we got home and went into it without complaint.
