This month we focused on the cues “Heel” and “Side”. I love swinging in to position at my mom’s leg but I sometimes get confused about which side to go to! Heel means Left and Side means Right. I’m getting better at distinguishing...

I had a busy month! I spent some time with new people who lead a very different lifestyle than I’m used to! I lived in a busy neighbourhood, rode transit every day, lived with lots of new people in the house, and went to a busy school with my sitter. It was very...

I love this time of year the very best! Cold weather is my jam. My mom says I’m more polar bear than dog! I got to practice fitting my now full grown self, into small spaces in public. I’m getting better at curling up instead of stretching out. I decided...

This month I learned about “moving”. Apparently humans sometimes find us new places to live and they spend a great deal of energy relocating all their stuff. I’m pretty excited because we are moving to a Farm! I’m told this means I’ll get...

This month I got to go to a Whitecaps Soccer game! We took the SeaBus and SkyTrain to get to the game which was great fun. Mom says I have to work on my core strength because I was sliding on the smooth floor of the SkyTrain when holding my Sit. My fellow riders...

I have been pretty excited to see the leaves turning and the air getting cooler! I’m definitely a cold climate kinda girl. Summer is great for rolling in mud puddles but bring on the frost and snow! I’m having a lot of fun working with mom to learn the...

Puma had a great time hanging out with chickens, ducks, goats, and rabbits on a farm this month. She didn’t bat an eye at any of the strange new animals and enjoyed lounging in the midst of them. We are working on Puma’s duration in Sit (it’s hard to...

Puma has enjoyed learning to swim this month. She took a couple days to gain the confidence to go in further than her belly but is a little fish now! In training we are working on adding duration to her stationary behaviours as well as proof her default food refusal...

This is our first month together so *everything* is interesting and fun. Puma has been to the movies, several restaurants, 2 ferry rides, and she has taken almost everything in (very slow) stride. In training I am focussing on loose leash walking as well as putting...
