End of the 2nd Week

Eddie is rapidly learning the do's and don't's of the house. He has only had a couple of accidents in the first two weeks and they were attributed to dad's not paying attention at all times. Eddie is retrieving to hand and realizes that he has to deliver to hand before he is rewarded. He is turning into a retrieving machine! Eddie has little tantrums when he thinks he is being treated unfairly or too harsh. He will nip to show his displeasure. A combination of a gentler hand and a little dominance reinforcement on the muzzle are seeming to gain his understanding. Eddie's command of the german language is impressive. He knows "sitz", "komm", and "aus" Next in line are "platz" and "foos". We are all amazed at how intelligent Eddie is and how fast he learns when the teacher uses an effective way of delivering the message. One thing we surely know about Munsterlander's - they respond best to teaching and not good at all to forced training. Probably a testament to their keen intelligence! What a pup. He's our baby - who looks to be destined for some awesome days in the field! He'll make his mutter, fader, Tom and Deb proud to be a Foxtal Kennel Pupster!!!!!!!
