I did not remember how much stuff a puppy needed – kind of like a new baby. I have stuff all over the house that was not there less than one week ago. I really do not like the mess but I keep buying more dog stuff anyway, so I am a contradiction.
Kim Yager who is a dog trainer came and temperament tested Oso. Kim said that Oso was very well balanced and could do any type of training we wanted him to do. One test was tossing a chain into a metal dish. Oso rushed to the dish to check it out. Kim said most puppies would startle first then check it out so she was impressed with Oso. In a week or so we are going to start formal training with her. Dan and I both like Kim. She is quite an interesting woman who trains police dogs.
That’s awesome. I’m excited that you found someone your comfortable with and can trust with your dog. Good luck.
I agree with Karen, it’s so important to find someone that you like and trust with your puppy.
I have a big bag in the laundry where I keep all of Koda’s stuff, it’s a lot of stuff.
Oso is giving Kim the “I wuvvvv you look” too. 🙂
Yes, Oso really liked her. They hit if off right away so we think it will be a good match.
I am so happy you will be working with Kim she is a fantastic trainer and a really cool person.
Kim was at our house for more than and hour last night. She is really cool.
That’s great that you are already getting him into a training program. The younger you start, the better.
