Pazzo at 4 months

Pazzo has reached four months.  His birthday was 1/21/12.  He is still a pup but is showing more of his adult personality everyday.  He settles nicely in the evening, usually, but still has his zoom time now an again.  He is inquisitive but not over the top.  He is also still a little shy about some things but showing improvement as time goes by. 
The main concern was the entropion but he seems to be outgrowing the problem.  Not as concerned about a medical intervention as I once was.  His bowel problem also seems to be improving although very slowly.  He still has soft stools but not as they once were. Pazzo is on regular Purina One Puppy Chow for large breeds and seems to be doing well.  We have only been up once during the night in the past week. 
Train with Pazzo is going well also.  Knows down and sit really well at home and I have worked a little outside in quiet places during our walks.  He has stay (implied when given a command) pretty good.  We try to release him from a command before he breaks it so now we are working on increasing the stay time.  I am really amazed at how many commands we have already introduced in just the 3 weeks that we have had him and how many we are already taking for granted such as the wait command at doors, sits and downs.  Another important command that we have begun working on this past week is the BED command.  He will need this one and be proficient with this command.  It is a great safety command as well as a one to use when the door bell rings or we just need to control him with guests.
