Russet is 10 months old and has had an exciting month! He attended a medieval faire, helped deliver donuts for a PADS fundraiser, and went camping for the first time. At the PADS Calgary Open House, he posed with his β€œbig sister” PADS Advanced Dog Gucci to show how much growing he’s done in the past 7 months.

At puppy class, Russet has been working on staying in a β€œdown” when his handler stands up from a seated position. Rather than anticipating what’s going to happen next from body cues, he is learning to wait until he is given a different command (e.g. β€œstand”).
