Took Sherman to Camp Diana (really it’s DogStar Training Academy) for boot-camp. Sherman was, as usual, friendly, outgoing and an apparently confident dog. Diana decided to bring out a dog on a leash to get a feel for Shermans Kujo-mode, and sure enough, he did. We discussed if this might be an innate problem, or one from how he grew up. Diana seems to feel he’s quite trainable, intelligent, and should do well in her course.

While we were standing in front of her house talking, Diana put Sherman in the back yard. We were pretty much standing out of sight, so he didn’t get all excited about us leaving him. Diana stuck her head around the corner, and Sherman was busy trying to dig under the gate. When he saw her, he then jumped up against the fence. It’s possible that Sherman is an escape artist, and the reason he was found wandering around Walton county was that he broke out of the yard of whoever owned him. Something to keep an eye on if he’s ever left alone (although I don’t feel comfortable ever leaving a dog in the yard by themselves, for several reasons).
