Highlights
-
Crate conditioning cont
I gave in and bought more crates so I didn't have to keep track of who had experienced crate time.
-
8w Vet Trip
Puppies went to the vet for microchips and their first set of vaccines. The car ride went really well. No accidents and only a few minutes of vocalized discontent.
-
More fun outside
I move the various toys around to keep things fresh for the puppies (and keep my grass from dying...)
The smaller, inner patio pen was taken down. They have full run of the dog yard now.
-
Water as a fun thing
Filled the bottom of the splash pad with water a few times on the hot days and let the puppies explore. The usual bold fellows dumped right in.
Carleton here thought it was quite nice on his belly.
-
Lead training
Each puppy had two sessions on lead this week. We had two hold-outs that required some coaxing but otherwise the litter was bold but responsive to lead pressure.
