Primrose Puppy Log

All of our dogs are the most beautiful to US, but objectively speaking Primrose is a supermodel amongst yellow Labs. I don't even dare show Carbon her photos, he would expire from envy. Glad for you that you're through the bitey phase and hope screw watch doesn't last too long!
She's thrilled to hear this! I'm setting up a litter meet up in September so I'll be sure to share pictures because all 11 look SO much alike!!
 
6 months old and 56 lbs! Today she pulled OH’s camera off the sideboard and broke it 😬 Brought her to an off leash hiking trail and we can only describe her feeling being around that many dogs for the first time as “exhilarating” haha. Her body language was so good and she listened so well considering there was swimming, dogs, new smells, people etc. Towards the end a lot of people had showed up and she met a pack of 5 young labs and that was game over - we had to leash her.

she can already be off leash in such a high excitement environment.
She really likes to stick close to me - done tons of work on recall games and she’s been off leash since day 1 and I've limited her meeting and playing with other dogs - that being said, OH was freaking about it being too busy and over stimulating and it's not a place you want to lose track of your dog, which I agree with so back to less stimulating walks for the time being (sorry Quinn!)!
 
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 switch when it's time to listen to the trainer. The class was a little over our heads - they were trying to gauge where all the dogs were at and had to do a long line recall down past all the dogs. Prim did ok, but the world was more interesting than any treats (shocking). I have to up my game for next week on the treat front. This trainer allowed the dogs to meet/sniff if they were overly distracted by a certain dog, which I have never seen in any previous places I've been to, even puppy class. As home work from puppy class I was trying to get a 'down' with only a verbal command (no hand signal) and we didn't achieve that - she was the example dog and couldn't do it so I've spent all weekend on it. Next week is our time to shine!
