My last puppy, Dodger, made it to his forever HOME in Massachusetts ✈️✈️ yesterday!! His adorable new name is Lincoln! I've known his family for 13 years through our Russian Down syndrome adoption connection. Like last week (meeting Dug’s family), getting to meet these long time friends in real life and knowing that the puppies are going to be loved well has been a special joy for me!! 🐾🏡 ❤️

I wondered if the puppies would be afraid of the grass but I shouldn’t have wondered, they LOVED it!! 😍

Teaching the puppies and watching them learn new skills at such a young age is one of my favorite things to do. In this video, I am working with Dodger and Dug on ‘Manding’.

I asked Chat GPT to give a description of what manding is and I liked how it explained it:

“Manding” in puppy training means politely asking or offering a behavior to get something—sort of like a puppy saying “please.”

Here’s how it works 👇

🐾 Definition

Manding is when a puppy learns to sit calmly to request attention, treats, or toys instead of jumping, barking, or pawing. It comes from applied behavior analysis (ABA) and is often used in service-dog and positive-reinforcement training.

🪄 Example

When you approach the pen:
• A puppy that jumps or whines is trying to get your attention.
• A puppy that sits quietly and looks at you is “manding.”
You then reward that calm sit with praise, a treat, or petting — teaching the puppy that calm sitting is the best way to communicate.

🎯 Goal

Manding teaches puppies:
• Impulse control
• Clear communication
• Polite behavior when interacting with humans

It’s usually one of the first “manners” taught in well-socialized litters — sometimes even before they go to their new homes.
