Hi friends!

I started off the month with an amazing beach hangout with 20 PADS dogs! I had a blast playing with all the pups and met lots of new friends. I reconnected with some of my uncles and aunts and played with my grandpa Cleat!

Then, it was time for the university term to start up again. I went with my raiser to Imagine Day at UBC, where we talked to lots of people about the Campus Canines UBC club, and I got to say hi to some of them. Lots of my campus puppy friends were also there, and it was fun to see them again after the summer.

I quickly adapted to our new routine of classes and other activities. I’m a pro at settling during my raiser’s lectures. I just curl up under the chair or desk and start snoozing.

I also went to puppy class a couple of times and campus canines club meetings. I get pretty excited to see my dog and human friends, so we’ve been focusing our training on calmness and disengagement from the things I find so, so fun! I’ve also continued to work on my cues, and I’m getting the hang of my newest cue, β€œheel” while also working to perfect all my old cues and adding duration.

Next month, I’m looking forward to some fun Halloween/fall activities and celebrating my first birthday! It’s hard to believe I’m already almost one! See you all next month to update you on all those fun things!
