I show a lot of things that show amazing behavior. But at the end of the day, These pups are only 5 months old. They do puppy things, Lorelei especially!! 🐾🐾🐾Like show what else she is mixed with - Mountain Goat 🐐-!!! 🐾🐾🐾

I laughed at her and we worked on it, but these puppy skills actually will come in handy for her training later. She’s demonstrating things she is naturally willing to do and that she enjoys. Noted for her future.

Meanwhile Celeste is my golden child who was off chewing on a horn. 🐾

And I will just apologize now! My house is a disaster!! I am running a business, starting a non-profit, training two 5 month old puppies, and have a pre-teen in the house. I gave up a long time ago. So when I tell people that their house being unorganized isn’t a problem, I truly mean it! 🤣 And hey there is minimal puppy proofing in this house as I use management and it for training opportunities! Also, I have some things I need to get to the shelter for donations, might stop Lorelei from using her lab nose….
