Yes, and even when he is going to play with Duke, he watches my wife for commands before he leaves his kennel. The owner and handler were both amazed how much he had learned and how he performed between the 3rd and 4th working period.

Duke and Nip like to play when Nip goes for walks outside his kennel.  Lad was not impressed when I walked Nip into the front yard. Now, they visit separated by a wire panel.  We are keeping him kenneled for a while, until he is use to the place and knows he belongs.  The seller suggested this approach and not even trying to work him on sheep for about 2 weeks.  We want him to feel wanted without a desire to run away, which would be tragic. The youngest bottle kid always comes to visit when Nip is out walking.  Nip does not know about goats, but watches them intently.  He definitely watches the sheep and would go to work if not restrained.  He is very good about waiting when we give him the command to  'wait' before we attach or remove his lead.  He also returns to his kennel when given the 'kennel' command, and is very good about returning to us when given the command 'that'll do'.
