Derby is the dog that I normally take on runs in the morning since his owners are no longer able to. In the beginning I noticed he needed some obedience training in addition to his exercise. So this time, instead of our normal neighborhood setting, I took Derby out for his first hike to work on getting socialized in public.
Boy did he surprised me with his manners! Unlike his usual bold self in his own neighborhood, he was very reserved and a bit shy on his hike. He was able to meet a few dogs and was very gentle, calm, and quiet. He was great on the leash and is making more progress with me every time I see him. Way to go Derby!
