The new semester has started, not only for our family's homeschooling, but for Alfie. His walks have gotten longer and more challenging. Alfie seems happiest when he's mentally engaged!
Here we are at the Texas State Capitol. It's a great place to train...
...because it's usually crowded, giving us lots of chances to practice the concept that we're here to work, not play with the cute kids!
The Capitol is also full of things for puppies to "find," like seats...
...and trashcans, our newest find.
We practiced "heel" and walking on a loose lead...

We practiced "heel" and walking on a loose lead...
...and did some obedience, like "down/stay."
We discovered pigeons, which are interesting...
...but even better when chased by little boys! Alfie seemed to understand, however, that he couldn't join in. He seemed content just to be a spectator.
Another recent outing was to the mall. Of course we practiced finds...
...and stairs...
...and did some people-watching (Alfie found the bungee-rides, barely visible in the background of the photo, intriguing!)
Good work, Alfie...you'll get an A+ for today!

He's doing so well!
It sounds like Alfie is really excelling in his training. He is so good at walking at your side, and it looks like he has got his commands down! How lucky you are to have such a fabulous training environment nearby. He is such a handsome boy!
