CountrySide Dalmatians & Training

Puppies are up to 2 full laps in the mornings! It's a great way to start the day, good for play, and also off leash work.

When Nannies out of town so you have to watch 14 dogs instead of 7. It's basically a dog daycare between us 2 😂🐾🐾💁‍♀️ But you know what makes the difference, WELL BALANCED DOGS!! Pack mentality can exist with exposure, training, and teaching more than just basic commands to dogs. Teach MANNERS, teach discipline, teach reward in high stakes situations. It truly makes for wonderful dogs.

Took the babies out of the fence for the first time, on lead. Getting them ready for new walks with their owners! *Parker is still looking for a forever home***

When the storms coming and the weather cools down, even the oldies jump in on the fun! It's a sea ⛵ of spots ! 🟤⚪⚫

It's a great morning to start some "Downs" 🌧️☔🌧️ Check out the last 4 babies as we begin the early stages of basic commands and manners! Nova(previously Genesis) is here for training until Aug and the other 3 will work along side her until they find AMAZING homes! Don't mind my castor oil pack around my back, this back pain ain't no joke!!

Breakfast training time! These guys have been doing this at both meal times now for almost 2 weeks. I start this with all puppies because it teaches so many important qualities that if engrained now will be easy to continue when going to new homes. *Waiting/patience *Sit *Focus *Calmness *Earning their meals/job No one gets a piece of food until they are sitting and still. Then it's much easier to transfer the bowls down to the ground and no spills. I don't like the idea of setting the bowls in place and opening a pen to let them run free to the food. There's no learning in that except when a doors open run. Also this gives them time after eating to get their bowels empty and be ready for a long mid morning nap! ❤️🩷💛🤍🖤💚⭕ These stinkers are growing so fast cannot believe Wednesday will be 7 weeks and 8 weeks for Dot!

TJ last week was just soooo tired lol! Tanner use to fall asleep sitting up all the time lol!

Soooo the other day, we acquired a bean bag that's the size of a small love seat 🙄(not my idea), well we use to have smaller bean bags that turned into dog beds, well when this arrived Levi has been eyeing it up and down. Typically the dogs stay in their area under the bookshelves all night, just the rules of the house... Well after much staring and puppy dog eyes, pat caved and called him over to join him, you can see the joy in his eyes and it's heart melting! They slept there for hours lol! Then it was off to his bed in our room lol Thought it was too cute not to share!

Someone looking for a Dock Diver? Apparently Legacy is your gal! Hahaha She is Always in the water! Today she is trying today in the bowl, guess it's time for a kiddie pool!

Morning romp from the babies 💞🐶🫶

How Transporting happens now! Getting from puppy pen to outdoor pen/grassy area is a task, if you just let them out they will immediately pee/poo whenever, so in conditioning them to the grass and going outside, it has to be a very quick exchange, or else they start to learn to pee and poop as soon as they step out of their sleeping area. My back is not as good as it once was. So the constant up and down and carrying two at a time was not working, so child's wagon to the rescue! Now as soon as I open the door theyre condition to waking up so I immediately put them in the wagon and we've been working on them staying in the wagon. Course, It's much easier when they've eaten and are sleepy, but after a few times they've gotten condition to being put in the wagon and staying put, mostly, but it can be a juggle making sure they don't topple out. 4&5 weeks is the age I like to start working on things because they are so receptive and learning "good things happen when I do this & bad things happen when I do this" Ex: on a quick reaction to the wagon, I was holding ♥️ and then 💚 tried to go past me and was flipping downward so I snatched quickly and it scared him, wasn't meant to hurt him, or scare him just keep him from toppling but that reaction not only saved him but taught him," I better not get to the front anymore " and he stays put every time now. Not on purpose but a purpose was fulfilled nonetheless .

Mid day playtime! They will be outdoors for playtime soon!!

3 weeks old means starting puppy mush! Dot did not need any help! 🐾🐕 Ya girl knows how to eat Ps allergies got me like 🤧🤧
