Puppy thread! (add yours)

LOL Kizmit, Ivy's in that gangly teenager phase too. She's exactly 5 months tomorrow, as well.

I'm so happy because Ivy finally polished her Contact today! All I have to do now is work on her footing. Luckily, we have a mini dogwalk that I use for Lucky so by the time we start formal training, she should have a concrete Contact on the dogwalk and, hopefully, the A-frame. She also has an authentic Dobie temperament so her recall is pretty much naturally ingrained. We'll have to work on it with distractions, though.

Keep it coming, guys! I really like getting these new ideas and experiences from you guys!

I've got my 7 month old Mufasa.

People always say he is well behaved but when it comes to commands he can be VERY stubborn. Treats are a must a majority of the time.

He is the most stubborn out of the 3 puppies I've had in my life. I suppose coming after Kiara he's got a lot to live up to, though.


He knows a few commands which are;

sit, lay, down, come, stay, turn, high five, paw, other paw, speak (VERY stubborn with this one, he won't do it all the time), roll over, and fetch.

He does it at his will, though. He really is a sweet little boy.

Speaking of Ivy, though... how about some pictures?

A FEW commands? Oh come on, Kay, not every dog is nearly as smart and trainable as Kiara

You know what the weird thing is? I haven't taken many pictures of Ivy. She's just too wiggly, and I keep forgetting the camera at the dog park. Will try to share some mundane ones later!

You'd better post more pics, Sophie!!! Or else I will have to steal Ivy... and take them myself... and never give her back. ;D

My knee-jerk reaction to this thread was to post Fozzie. I keep forgetting he's 1! Sweet JESUS, they really do grow up fast... he still seems like such a puppy. Either that, or they actually are "puppies" for a few years, even after they stop growing. I really liked reading all of the puppy stories, and the pics of course.

LiL hooch my baby boy (8wks old)

This is Tucker and he is 5 months old now. He knows the command sit but he gets so excited that he can't sit for more than about 10 seconds. He has learned to come when he is called but it really depends if there is something more interesting going on. Potty training is coming but he seems to be finding it difficult to know how to tell us he has to go unless he is in his kennel and then he barks and jumps at the kennel door. He is learning not to bite on little fingers and toes or chew up toys that are not his. As far as socialization, he is living with 8 other dogs so he gets a lot of that but the dogs who live here sometimes let him have what he wants rather than let him know he can't take things from them. He goes to work with me every day. We don't always see a lot of people but he sees more than he would if he stayed at home all day. He is very good at work and will go lay on his bed a good part of his day or play alone with his toys.
