I had a lot of fun hikes this month and spent some time in the water, which I really enjoy. I also got some great exercise, going for short runs with Nigel. I get tired after a few minutes, so we always stop and relax when I need to. I have been biting a lot of wood...

I saw a lot of dogs on the Seawall this month!Β I am getting so good at staying with Nigel as he walks and not stopping or slowing down to greet other dogs.Β When another dog approaches, I usually look up at Nigel and he gives me a treat from time to time. I have been...

I had a lot of fun learning a new cue this month, “bed.” I am used to using the cue “settle,” so it was a bit of a challenge at first, but of course I picked it up in just a few tries. Now, I will travel from far away and lay on my bed when I...

I have gotten better and better at the stand cue as the month has progressed! I can now stand for over three minutes while waiting for the release cue! I do think that being around all the other puppies in class makes things more difficult for me, but I will try to...

I am getting better and better, every day, at “Go In.” I go where I am asked and I stay there until it’s time to go. I have been putting on my brakes, from time to time. Once I have done my business, I get back to walking at the right pace and...

I have very exciting (and a little bit scary) news. I am going to a new raiser today. He lives near Rogers Stadium so I am going to be a city girl instead of a suburban one. I’m going to have lots of new experiences. I know I’ll miss my current raiser but...

Jewel has had her first heat in July. Because of the hormones she experienced, she was not very hungry. With this she didn’t have much of a chance to go out and do interesting things this month. She did get to go to some dog parks – both on-leash and...

I have been doing lots of very fun visits this month, including visiting a Fire Station and an Ambulance Station. I got to go right inside of a fire engine and an ambulance. It was pretty cool. I also did a lot of training at a park my Hooman takes me to, where I...

One exciting thing for me right now is that I am back home! I have been away “on vacation” for a long time, including most of March. I have had three sitters during that time. All of them told my Raiser Hooman that I am a very good puppy. My Raiser Hooman...

I am almost 6 months old now so I am going to tell you myself about what I did in September. I went to all of my Kindergarden classes and my trainer said I was doing really well. Especially after she showed my raiser-mom how to do something. I got to go to wonderful...
