Darwin August 2014 2August was a slow month for Darwin as one of his puppy raisers was recovering from surgery. With a slower pace we used this opportunity to work on lengthening his Sits and Downs and gaining more confidence in traveling in a car or on the bus.

We also went to the PNE where we got to meet goats, sheep, cows and many other farm animals. For a city dog such as Darwin, he handled himself relatively well – however we did not care for the little black sheep that tried to stare him down.

Darwin’s goals for September are to continue working on his loose leash β€œLet’s Go” and to increase the duration of his Sits, Downs and Stands.
