I am tired. Puppies are exhausting! Kind of like raising kids. You have to be attentive and in the moment. You can't let anything go to chance.
Yip just ran through the house and I had to make sure she didn't have to go outside. It was a false alarm, the cat was in front of her and needed attending to. The cat baits her all the time. They have a good time together, even the other 4 dogs are respectful of the cat. He does have his claws and knows how to use them.
Worked on Yip walking on leash and wearing her collar. That is going very well. Tons of opportunities to work on the come command too. We walked by the ducks and she likes to make them move, good girl. I put a handful of her food in my pocket to always work on the come command and her name. She responds to me, big praise and food.
I always like to think of how important is it for her, or any of my dogs, to respond to their names and the word come. So on a scale of 1 to 10 and 10 being the most important, it is a 10 to me that they listen and respond. So when I am praising them and rewarding them I make it sound like a 10.
Took some pictures today of her and now I have to figure out how to put them on.
ROBYN!!
