Learning his kennel command
Everyone got a little practice today on a slight aframe. Tomorrow I’ll add the third piece. They all love the clicker and trying new things

A little glimpse into our morning routine. After everyone has gone outside to potty they get to come back in and run through the house so to speak lol. I try to put out new fresh obstacles in different places and boy do they have fun. They play for awhile then we go back out side for potties then back in for breakfast and a nap. This starts at 5 am every morning
Alex is such a HUGE help with the puppies. He helps get them in and out of their pen, entertains them while I clean and swap things out of their inside pen. He also loves to get them to go over their obstacles and plays so great with them. I’m so thankful for his help and the puppies LOVE him
Green collared boys second barrier challenge.
You might be asking yourself what the purpose of a barrier challenge is. Here is a short description of the exercise and benefits.
Puppy is given a little taste of food then placed behind a barrier a short distance away. They must figure out a way around to reach the food. The challenges increase as you work through it. These exercises greatly enhance problem solving and intelligence as well as developing the capacity to think when frustrated.
Barrier challenge session 1 for this guy. Barrier challenges will increase in difficulty which helps develop problem solving skills
