Pup playtime, learning how to be socially stable, call away from other dogs, play at same level. Some learning in their group how to handle it, Axel and Elsie in muzzle, new experience for them. Zalina, Leo watching in their private spot- learning patience. Baker and Gus- white sheps hung out and all had a great time. Worked on not gate crowding, and place while all friends are having a fun time too! Playtime can be work time too!

Will You Take It Nicely Watermelon Challenge watermelon Can You Take It Nicely Watermelon Challenge. Love the reactions. Big pieces for dog’s learning to be polite, and work out way to patience. (Of course we wipe our hands between with this sticky madness)
