Enjoying Summer with Harley

Harley is becoming an extremely well behaved little boy.  We had family members visiting the past two weekends and he was excited to see them and welcomed them into our house.  When he first came to stay with us he was very scared when anyone came to visit and would spend the whole time barking.  He didn't bark once with our visitors!

Harley has become a great walker.  While he still pulls occasionally, he does not bark or try to pull towards other dogs or people anymore.  He now sits at every corner the first time you ask him to sit.  He is interested in meeting other dogs, is not aggressive about it.  He doesn't seem to be afraid of people or big dogs.

Since Harley has been with us we have had some thunderstorms and fireworks nearby (the city fireworks a few blocks away), and he was not scared of either.  He was outside with us during the fireworks and seemed to think our neighbors were making the noise, and barked through the fence for a bit to tell them to stop.

Relaxing after a day of fun

One of Harley's favorite things is hanging out outside.  He loves to take a toy and play (with us or by himself) and just spend time sniffing around the yard.  We have a fenced yard so he is routinely outside alone or with our dog, and is not afraid of sirens, barking dogs, or any other noises.
