Wise Old Thumper
Firstly, Merry Christmas from him and me!!
For a 13 week old puppy I cannot believe how wonderful he is. An important part of his job will be knowing how to 'switch off' when he isn't needed so it's something he is praised heavily for. When he lies on his mat he is heavily rewarded with treats and kibble. Now I just need to put the mat on the floor and he goes straight to it and lies down, for example, this was during the church nativity yesterday.
I am constantly looking for things that will take him a while to chew. I bought these for when he is bigger but thought I'd see what he makes of it now. It's a bit big but it kept him occupied!
My daughter's booster was in the house and he thought it made a great bed!
Showing off his retrieving skills which we praise heavily because it will be a huge part of his work. He will now do 'give' with or without a treat which is fantastic when he has things he shouldn't have!!
Pippin still has control over him even though he can now fit under Bugsy's tummy without bending down!
