Hi friends! Lyriq here with my April pupdate!

This month was full of sunshine, fun, and some great learning moments. Over the Easter long weekend, I got to hang out with some tiny humans. They were really fun and kind of unpredictable, which made it a great time for me to practice being gentle and calm. I think I did pretty well!

I also went to a barn craft sale, and wow, so many people! A lot of them admired me from afar (I mean, who can blame them?), and I got to practice staying focused even when people wanted to come and say hi. Iโ€™m still working on not getting too excited when meeting new folksโ€”itโ€™s just so hard when everyone seems like a new best friend!

The weather has been amazingโ€”so warm it feels like summer already. That means Iโ€™ve been doing lots of off-leash walks and working on my recall. Iโ€™ve heard Iโ€™m getting close to something called โ€œadvanced training,โ€ so Iโ€™ve been working hard to sharpen all my skills. Weโ€™re especially focusing on not getting distracted by other dogs (they just look like they’d be such fun to play with!) and not licking people when I meet them.

Iโ€™m feeling pretty proud of myself these days. Thanks for cheering me on!

Tail wags,
🐶 Lyriq
