Maverick

Everything is going really well. We recently finished the beginner session of obedience training. Maverick is fantastic at his sits and downs. He's getting better and better at stay, come when call, and crawl. I've seen a huge improvement when he meets new people, he doesn't pee and rarely jumps. We've learned Maverick loves to dig, but he's such a smart dog only digging in under the deck, behind the shed, or in the sandbox. During the heat wave we took Maverick swimming in the lake. We think it may have been his first time swimming because he was very awkward. I think he liked it once he got used to it. On the 4th of July we went to a party with about 30 people and 10 dogs!! Maverick had a blast. He ran around with his new friends all day. He'd come when we called him and sometimes just came to check in on us on his own. The cats are doing well with Maverick, too. They're finally used to the new family member and give Maverick "kisses" instead of hisses and swats. We are very happy to have Maverick in our family.
