Lack of posts

Sorry about the lack of posts lately, four 12 week old puppies seem to be taking up all of my spare time!! :) The boys are doing well, although they are at the jangle stage at the moment. All of them really have 'Sit' down pat and most are good about 'Down' (as in to lay down), and heal. We worked on heal without a leash first, by walking up and down the hallway in our home, using a clicker and reward each time they get in proper position. We have now transitioned into walking on a leash and going around the block - we do this with the clicker too, and when they get in proper position, like magic they get a click and treat... within 1/2 a block or so, each puppy has figured out this game and are walking on my left side on a nice loose leash. I'm hoping to find some other people in the area who have pups around this age so we can get together for a Play Day, to keep their socialization going. If you know anyone interested in one of these great pups, please send them our way!!
