Poblano played host to family and friends from Singapore at the beginning of this month. He wowed them with his cuteness and knowledge. He also went to a third babysitter who was impressed with how well he did his commands at only 10 months, but…there’s always a β€˜but’ isn’t there…he is exuberant and will pull too much. So Mom got him a harness which works really well to reduce his desire to pull. Makes it more comfortable to walk in some of the snowy, icy weather we’re getting here.Β 

Poblano also experienced a sleepover with a 2-month-old baby. Her crying didn’t bother him, and he was very curious about the baby smells. Still, he really wasn’t interested after he was told to β€˜bed’ or β€˜kennel’ so often. He also met up with some Pads pups at a close park and practiced settling, Walking side by side, towards each other and just not getting distracted by the other dogs… I must say, he’s getting better and better, despite his being a challenging teenager!Β 

An exciting month and lots of successes.
