Another great month for Gaffer. He continues to advance. His pop-up from a sit and a down, etc., is great. Working on cues from a distance. He still moves ahead a few inches each time, but it is getting really close. Next month, we’ll see if he will stay in...

Another great month with Gaffer. Nothing out of the ordinary. He had a visit to the handy dart. Sat there and watched the ramp go down. Walked up the ramp, looked around, and sat there while it went back up. No problem with any of it. The loose leash walking is...

Such an easy dog to get along with. We have been working on chin cues from a distance, free shaping, and loose leash walking this month. Doing great in all of them. He is still a little wild if we go for a walk with another dog or when a dog walks past him, but he is...

Quiet month for Gaffer. Lots of outings, shopping, class playdates with Milos, and lots of walks, but nothing earth-shattering. He worked a lot on free shaping in December and went from a dog who would just stand there if he did not know what to do, to a dog who will...

Gaffer continues to be great to have around. He has become a lot more sniffy as he grows up, but he is still easy to distract from it. Numerous shopping trips to Costco, the mall, etc. He really enjoys getting out and seeing people. We take him to school, an...

Another great month with Gaffer. A couple of playdates and trips to the dog park, where he was very well-behaved. He had a nice, long walk with his buddy Milos along the water in City Park in Kelowna, and both were very well-behaved despite all the other...

Gaffer got to go to the vet and get a couple of teeth pulled this month. He got over it quickly, and by the next morning, you would never know he had even gone. Zoomies all over the place. Making up for the lost day, I suppose. He now has a gap-toothed smile....

Hi friends! I have had a month full of adventure. I started the month in Manitoba with my raiser and her family. I had a great time living with my poodle friend Koda! We had awesome wrestling matches. I got to join in on a bridal shower and bachelorette party!...

Hi Friends, During July, I did a lot of growing and lost a lot of teeth! I’ve also been learning so many things and having lots of new experiences. I started off the month hanging out with my roomie, PADS Casper, as usual. I practiced my settling with him a lot...

Hi friends! I had a fun month learning lots of new things and going on tons of adventures! I went to the beach many times this month. On some of my outings, I worked on settling on the sand and not eating it (that’s still a work in progress), and on other days I...

Hello world! I’m Gaffer, I’m now 13 weeks old and this is my first pupdate! I started off the month of May with my mom PADS Athena, my littermates of the Whitecaps litter, and my breeder caretakers. Then, only two days into the month, I embarked on the...
