Spark was becoming a bit of a monster after her walk this morning, so we sat on the floor and did some training. She is so freaking smart! 🔥
Matilda does 6 perfect retrieves, I’m like, Ooooh! I should record this!!! And so I do…. 🤪🙄
(Apparently, I may swear in this video… oops!)
Here are the dogs from last night’s indoor barnhunt class

Puppy’s first day on the ranch. We’re narrowing down name choices. She’s spicy and fun!
This is her first walk. We went about 400 yards total.
She was incredible on yesterday’s interminable Planes Trains and Automibiles adventure, spending about 8 hours total with short potty breaks in a small carrier. She slept through her plane ride, and the two plus hours home from Phx.
We’ll be putting up detailed diaries of her first week on our paid Patreon. We’ll share everything she does and why, and even if you don’t have a puppy, these foundations are helpful to new adoptees and even improving your relationship with your current dog.
