Panzer
Panzer is trained in the basics with commands and hand signals. He can sit, lay down (Platz), heel (Fuss), stay (bleib). He will sit and stay (bleib) as I walk away. He will come when I give him the sign (hand on my chest). and the command. He will usually stay for 30-40 seconds before he becomes anxious and comes on his own. I was working on training him to search (port) with a partner who would put his scent on a rag and then go hide. I would then lead the dog to the partner. We were not aboe to progress to the point where I could let Panzer lead, as the COVID situation cause me to lose my training partner for the time being.
