Today we worked on getting to walk nicely with the group (it was a good refresher course for Izzy and too πŸ˜…), worked on his recall, worked on getting him desensitized to different surfaces, and also worked on getting him desensitized to construction noises too.

Also, if anyone wants a discount code to our awesome water bottle (shown in pictures 14 and 15), send us a DM! πŸ€—

Not a ton of pictures and videos from today, because everyone was being a handful in their own ways, so it was absolute chaos 90% of the time and we needed all hands on deck 🫠

Vader, four months old, Mini Goldendoodle. Had zero recall in the beginning (because everything else was 10 times more exciting πŸ₯²) but that quickly changed to a near perfect recall by the end, especially when he realized treats were involved πŸ˜‚

Also worked on "drop it" today and got some puppy zoomkes out with his new friends!

Lenny, almost three years old (a couple weeks away until her birthday! πŸ₯³), Labrador. OBSESSED with food, which honestly is the best because her recall was a 10/10 today and she's such a fast learner 🀩

A good way to work on some impulse control training while you're throwing a ball for your dogs is to make them "sit" and "wait" before releasing them (our cue is "ok, go!") and throwing the ball.

You can also progress this to actually throwing the ball and then releasing them, but that definitely takes a lot more practice (and only on his own can really do this one right now lol).

Brought our River District run club back this week, and we were both genuinely shocked and impressed at .bear.thegoldendood 's running skills! πŸ†

We checked out a bunch of new murals on our run, plus a fancy art installation/dog agility course.

I thought the run was way easier when Dad had all three of them on him, but I think he might disagree 🀭

We really need to stop bringing balls to this park, because we lost another one today πŸ˜‘

The doods (and Izzy) got to walk around and explore a new neighbourhood for the second half of the walk, and then everyone got a thorough wipe down, so we would mitigate the inevitable destruction of our new dog mobile πŸ₯²

The doods different ball personalities:

* Riley and Dinosaur will always go for the ball and drop the ball for you, no matter what (but they prefer balls that are broken/have holes or cracks in them, for whatever reason). They will keep going until they're tired, and they will let you know they're tired/want a break by bringing the ball into the shade, far away so you can't throw the ball for them again.

* Friday will only drop the ball for you if he knows you're throwing it for him, and won't get outrun for the ball (he'll also drop the ball for treats). Otherwise, he will just hang onto it and lay down to chew it. He also prefers blue balls (like... the colour of the ball lol).

* Ellie will only run after the ball when no one else is running after it and if she knows you're throwing it specifically for her. Otherwise, she will just hang back and watch. I've actually never even seen her pick the ball up once πŸ˜‚

* Fozzie will only go after the ball when he knows no one else is going after it, and it wasn't just thrown. He's like our ball boy - he just goes and retrieves all the balls once they've been on the ground and lost for a while. He will always drop the ball for treats.
