I love the harness colour!!
The decking is looking good as well! How is your OH feeling?

"Give me all your cheez.... or I'll poo in your shoe."

Yeah, that too.

 

[Boogie]

That sound like super harness training.

 

[MrChew]

I just want to eat him! That face!!

 

[Beanwood]

He knows about squeezy cheez already, don't tell the vet nurse!

I just looked at him and thought that's not going to fit him for long. He's very robust. Just love him.

He's such a little star!

There's lots of room around his tummy, but not much around his neck and shoulders.

 

[SwampDonkey]

Yep he's going to be a big lad

A quick harness session this morning. Clicking and treating when he touched it, I moved it closer to his head and he was fine, carried on treating and had a go at popping it over his head - no issues at all. Hope I haven't moved too quickly with this, but it didn't seem to be an issue for him. Had a little play for a couple of minutes, still treating, and then took it off him.
Thank you to lovely @SwampDonkey who sent me this harness - isn't it a lovely colour!
Sorry, not great photos as he doesn't stand still ! View attachment 15623View attachment 15624View attachment 15625

My first thought was bare toes! , he must be a good boy (or you’re very brave) .

 

[Natalie]

Oh crap. Just watched a video of Mr Lime green collar, He's doing spins, reverse spins, really sharp lie downs and hand touches. I need to up our game.

 

[Ashley]

I feel like I need to up my game with my 4.5 year old! We still lure a spin

 

[snowbunny]

There’s no race. Just enjoy your puppy!

oh, I know, it's just they all sound so perfect, it's probably a facebook thing.(though one pup did chew through an ethernet cable today )

Bear/Monty management is becoming a bit stressful, I will post tomorrow to ask you all for some advice I think - it's not bad but becoming a bit wearing that they are both 'on' all the time but Monty can't bear (ha) to be separated. Off to bed early now after chucking Scrappy-Doo in his cage.

 

[snowbunny]

This, too, shall pass! Every dynamic is different. Very few are easy. Remember my lot wanting to kill the puppy?
Do what needs to be done with management ... and, hell, bribery and alcohol (for you )! ... in the early days, and things will work out in the wash.

 

[SwampDonkey]

Look how Monty turned out, he's wonderful. You've done it once you can do it again. It doesn't matter what other people say their pups can do it's about building a trusting and a happy relationship at this stage. Everything else will be fine.

 

[MrChew]

Remember that everyone lies/gilds the lily on social media!

 

[Selina27]

I need to up our game.

Er no, I don't think so
