A quiet first half of the month while completing her heat cycleβ€”Taiga attended her puppy classes, went on neighbourhood walks being sure not to bring any boys to the yard, practiced her house manners/settling skills as well as engaged in lots of brain games and food puzzles.

The latter half of the month was more eventful as Taiga practiced her rocket recall while enjoying the off-leash forest romps, and worked on her off switch while trying to settle during coffee shop stops, and regular strolls through the grocery store.

The puppy class field trip to Metrotown Mall was another great opportunity for Taiga to work on her skills among the hubbub of shoppers and other pups in training β€” all the pups did a great job, especially bringing smiles to many faces.
