Georgia showing off her swimming skills! She’s part fish 🤣
The big girls got to play at FASTCAT today! Beauty was a few tenths of a second off her personal best time and Bee loved her fun run as usual- 7.31 seconds! So wish Bee could play for real in AKC.
It’s always fun practicing barn with Aunt Karli!
It’s been a hot week in Michigan!
Other than our daily walks, we haven’t been up to much.
Looking forward to cooler temps next week so we can resume training and outings!
The puppies got to visit Aunt Karli again for more barn hunt!
The puppies explored the course individually for the first time and both did a fantastic job displaying great confidence when alone.
Both found the rat tube!
Georgia had fun playing with Karli and the rat after!

Georgia got to see her first FASTCAT today. She seemed intrigued, but we’ll have to wait till next summer to find out if it’s her sport!
Beauty had a great first 2 runs of the year and almost beat her personal best time!
I think we have our first confirmed future dock diving dog from the Motown Litter!
Go Logo (Marvin)!!!
Make Grandma Tizrah proud! 👏
Another approach to shaping the “down” so that sit isn’t a part of the behavior chain.
Loving the Fenzi course and all the ideas the instructor is giving for sport puppy foundations!

Continuing to layer skill learning in for the puppies!
Here I shape a lay down with Georgia so I can later add a verbal cue to the behavior.
Tip- start on a soft surface like a blanket!
(Do you see Dito in the background? He wanted another turn! 🤣)

There is nothing Carolina Dogs love more than exploring the outdoors with their pack 💕
The puppies are sure loving getting to come along!

Having fun building toy drive and some important behaviors like recall and sit as an added bonus!

The dogs got to go easter egg hunting thanks to grandma & grandpa! So fun!
Happy National Puppy Day!
Our pups enjoyed lots of playtime today and a bit of training- the concept of “touch it” was introduced! Plus, we did some cooperative care like nail trims and and life skills like crate time.
Tomorrow morning Dianna (Ziigwan) goes home to Wisconsin, so we’ll be having another puppy slumber party tonight! 🥰

Fernandito “Reach” and Georgia had their first trip into a store today!
Both did so well and everyone else got to come along for another car ride experience.
It’s amazing to see how everything is starting to click for them now and boy are they absorbing information like sponges!
Crate training and “light” obedience training is going very well!

Winter is back and the pups are loving playing and exploring with the big dogs!
They had a few special visitors today including their last photo shoot with Auntie Raluca for a few of them 😭

The puppies got to meet George Bailey the barn cat!
I think George thought this looks like trouble and back out the door he went 🤣
#fcfcds #puppies #carolinadogs
The puppies woke up to snow this morning and boy were they excited!

Take a look at our training sessions earlier this week!
The puppies are doing a great job following a lure while leashed and building confidence leaving the other puppies for their turn.

Started our day with a thunderstorm…guess who rain out in the rain? Georgia of course!
Puppies find joy in the simplest of things! Here’s a “battle for the glove”…which puppy will win?
Tomorrow we are off to their first vet appointment! Here’s to hoping the pups are all brave 🤞

A very warm day in Michigan meant pool time for the pups!
Everyone drank from the “big water dish” dipping their front feet in, but 2 puppies got all the way in!
Ruffin/Pebbles ventured in several times and would walk through and hop out or grab a toy.
Georgia however got in and stayed in! She loved splashing and digging in the water.

We had a very busy weekend! Lots of visitors at the house including a puppy parent family!
Then this afternoon we ventured north to my parent’s on a field trip. The pups had such a good time in their yard and in the house too. The pups all showed great strides in their confidence to explore and engage with new people ❤️
We’ll all be sleeping well tonight!
