I’ve had Drac home for a week now! Head over heels in love with him!

I thought I’d share what I’ve trained this week. Well, it might be a short blog! I feel like I just survived with potty schedule and managing the introduction of a new dog!

What I have succeeded in:

1. Successful introduction to Savvy on day 1. Outside with puppy on leash. Went really well – both very appropriate and respectful!
2. Assessing outside play between both dogs … WOW, was lucky on this one. Savvy seems to be enjoying the little guy!
3. Getting puppy to new places and meeting new people. Gold star there :)!
4. Napping when puppy naps – I’m a smart mom :)!
5. Puppy finding all my loose small items around the house!!
6. Some minimal training … “get it”, sit, collar grab, hide and seek (find ‘da face), and especially bonding with personal and toy play!!

Work in progress:

1. Getting puppy outside in time for pottying … those few times I put him down just for a sec to check the computer or get laundry out of the dryer and I come back to poop!
2. Managing dogs around the house in close quarters around treats and toys.
3. Puppy proofing house (see #5 above)
4. Getting him to chew on his toys and bones and not EVERYTHING else!

Puppy just ransacked the house as I was finishing this blog … so I must go. Until next time!
