Everyone thinks potty and crate training is the hard part...haha that’s the easy part! It is a lot of work. I will say that having an older dog to learn from and who will play helps a ton....think about it 😆😁

Yes - and we thought her chewing the leather door was going to be the money hit!!

7 months old next week! While we have some wins like walking on leash improving, there are a few behaviours that I thought we would be done or easing off by now (but I don’t have a reference point beyond Quinn): - chewing up every single thing she can get. All my throw pillows, clothes (she can...

Nice work! It’s definitely hard in the heat! What breeds do you see most in rally competitions? When I did some rally with Quinn there seemed to be a lot of Australian Shepherds- very smart and focused!

Our first vet with Quinn was of the opinion that there is no need to elimate anything from a puppy’s diet and that grain free was too “new” - and then with DCM and potential linkages to boutique and/or grain free (nothing concrete has ever been released at this point) our current vet also...

I would definitely choose a large breed puppy food for this pup. A couple of the foods I considered were Pro Plan large breed, GO or Now Fresh large breed - not sure where they sit price-wise. It’s really overwhelming, but I would choose a grain inclusive food for a puppy.

The trainer emailed the whole class apologizing for leaving abruptly and said that she left because she broke her finger. I don’t need an apology- I think it would have been more professional to address the class before rushing out as it was a bit awkward and everyone was standing around...

Oh man! I would have been freaked out! I don’t let the dogs near the creek bushes here in the evening - lots of fox and coyotes! One passed in Front of our car last week and primrose when crazy barking and growling (I guess she’s not aware she’s a puppy!). There is a lab in our neighborhood...

I have never had anything like this and I have been to a number of schools and trainers with Quinn over the years - the whole thing is a bit off. I regret not just biting the bullet and making the drive to where we did puppy classes. A lot of money wasted.

Sooo this morning was our second training class and I wasn’t overly impressed by week one. It’s an outdoor class and dogs are very close together and allowed to meet/say hello to other dogs and the whole thing is just an adolescent Labrador nightmare. Anyway, Primrose is not too bad really - but...

How exciting! Hope your walk goes well! I'm sure her training to jump means she does it on cue and not like a regular young lab who takes you out!!

Well, we had our first intermediate obedience class and it's outside. Prim is the youngest by a good 4-5 months and highlights include slipping out of her harness, eating sticks and a piece of garbage and falling asleep. She's a totally different dog to Quinn - she easily relaxes and has an off...

Ia this some sort of dog endorsed gin?!

This is Quinn! She will sleep as long as we do, and pre-Prim I had to wake her up daily for her morning walk at 8AM! 😆

@Natalie this is promising info!!!

Happy Birthday, Iver! Time flies! :partyhat: What made me smile today is that Primrose slept until 8:15AM - the latest she has ever slept! The past two weeks have been around 7am and prior it was in the 5-6AM range. We miiiiight get another sleeping in dog! :rock:

Sounds great! Keep us posted!

@kateincornwall what are the odds of that meeting! Hilarious! Both being good boys coming when called 🤣

Prim loves plant pots too!! Frolics in joy when she gets one!
