Happy Spring Everyone!
April was a bittersweet month as it signals the lastย fullย month Iย get toย spend with my puppy raisers. In May, I will be heading off to a sitter while I wait for a place to open in Advanced Training.ย
This month at puppy class has been spentย continuing to polish upย my cues by adding duration and distraction. We did an exercise where all the pups had to hold a down in a line while the humans took turns walking over us like a K9 ladder. A few months ago, none of us could handleย being stepped over, but I’m pleased to say that ALL of us pupsย were able toย complete the exercise without moving! Yay!ย
I‘ve been continuing to go to school twice a weekย andย mum is always proud to hear how well-behaved I am and what a difference I make to the kids.ย Luckilyย theย sitter I’m going to is still in the Okanaganย whichย will allowย me to continue my school visits until I head to Puppy University.ย
Finally, my lastย month,ย also happened to coincide with my Uncle Tiller’s 5th birthday!ย We had a small party with cousin Released PADSย Caddyย complete with a photoshoot and, of course,ย treats.ย I’m going toย miss hanging out with them, but mum assures me I can come back and visit anytime.ย
Enjoy the spring weather, and don’t forget to stop and eat (I mean smell) the flowers along the way!
