Murdoch is 10 weeks old, completely blind and eager to work just like all pups! Murdoch will be training to be a therapy pup for schools, and an advocate for differently abled pups. Get them out there and train! #blindpuppy #tdawg #differentlyablednotdisabled #k9workingmind #protectfirst #positivedogtrainer

Murdoch learning how to poop on command. ❤️ we teach all our puppies to potty on command and you can too. If you have a puppy that you are housebreaking, try making a “potty pen” outside. It does not have to be big, enough room for them to potty and get out of the dirty zone. Once they go in the pen (as long as it is safe and they cannot eat anything) stay out of it and just boringly repeat “potty” for urine, and “finish up” for poops. Once they do their business, have a celebration and give them lots of love and play time afterwards. A big mistake people make is to end potty with going inside. How boring! It inadvertently teaches the pup to hold it longer so they can get more out time! And yes, this works on all pups, differently abled or not. #blindpuppy #positivetraining #puppytraining #tdawg
