Leon is on Short Sands public park doing an off leash "Let's Go" after being released to go play. He is such a good boy, and we often take this for granted and don't brag about it. We even have the photo and video proof of it LOL. One thing I regret about Jackie is not bragging about him as much. He accomplished so much in his overly short life. Leon can't do a one minute sit due to his knees, but he has also accomplished a lot and convinced a lot of people that they "want a dog like that".
When people see Leon and want that dog, what they mean is they want a confident, self assured, active (but not hyper unless his tether ball is around or recently frisbee), friendly but not overly so, and obedient dog. Leon is also very loving and devoted to his family. He participates as a demo dog, daycare pal, and dog walking companion.
Here he is without collar, lead or treat coming back to us when asked.
Then we wanted to get a nice picture of him standing on the bench and looking towards us (lighting wasn't working for us though). So we used a "place" and then a "look" command.
