    He is so smart

    Benelli is doing amazing with his training. I've only had him less than 2 months and he is learning the rules. He came off the streets so he had no house manners when I got him. He came in and was peeing and jumping on everything and standing on furniture. I thought omg what did I get myself into. He couldn't even focus on me and was constant movement and didn't know how to settle. I couldn't get him to come in from the yard and he would just run from me.

    Almost 2 months later he goes into his crate by himself and if he knows its time to eat he will run in while I get his food ready. He waits until I put it down and after the crate is closed and I say ok will he then eat. He will not come out of the crate until I say ok even if the door is wide open. He is now coming in from the yard. Yesterday he even left his toy and came running he no longer needs the leash. He walks nicely on a leash we use the easy walk he wasn't much of a puller but he was all over the place when outside. now he walks on a loose leash. We are still working on healing but separate from going for a pleasure walk. He will now look at me for a few steps we are going slow. He knows stay and he knows that he is not allowed in the kitchen while I'm cooking.

    Oh and I tought him paw and he know waves!!! Hes such a sweetie. Now if I could control his chewing he wasnts everything he isn't supposed to chew on and he has tons of toys.

    Congrats! Nice, very nice story... I love the name Benelli. They make my favorite shotgun, the "Cordoba".
