AKA: Big Lake Refuge in Arkansas

In this video you will see us just working sit/stay, release, and here commands.  Tuvuk just turned 4 months old which is still a little young to really start forcing strict commands on him.  I still want to keep it as more of a game and not a strict training session.  In the next few weeks we will continue to work on obedience and get him familiar with commands that will be used for further training.  At this point you can tell that the 30' check cord does not bother him anymore.  He has now learned the release command "Tuvuk" which is used to send him when told.  Most trainers start really training a dog starting at 5-6 months old, but with the timing of the Arkansas trip I wanted to make sure and not miss this opportunity.  This video was taken at the Big Lake Refuge in Arkansas.  Tomorrow Tuvuk will be traveling to Kentucky with me to meet my dads' family.  We will be posting more video from that location.  He should be well traveled after this extensive trip.
