Puppy Pandemonium! Nice balmy day to have a good fun outdoor play session with the pups. All got to run, chase, recall and work on social skills with our help.

Prima had a full evening working on puppy basics. She potties outside on a leash at the end of training session! We did “get it game” with cheese, explored platforms for place, recall “here” command and confidence building. Great pup! Good brain!

First day of school for Prima! She is a little rockstar! She did well on the trip here, cried a bit on the crate but then quieted. Potties on leash on arrival. Did some work and then back for a nap in crate. Gave her a small puppy chew and she has been quiet in crate with a few reminders. Crate training under way! We got to see Big brother Bruno again since we trained him a few years ago! What fun!
