Training


Thank you so much for inviting us yesterday.  I was telling my friend that I have taken my pup's ability to learn for granted in the past. 


Leader Dog doesn't want to make the process too complicated, so I haven't been able to explore the depth of training that I'm learninng now.  Most of all, I feel like I'm developing a more complex relationship with BOTH of my boys.  I'm sure they will appreciate the better use of their brain power.  Ultimately, I hope they'll be more mentally stimulated than the average dogs.


Hugo and I crashed when we got home.

Ten Weeks

We've been having a lot of fun going on field trips.  He's getting a lot of attention.  He is such a brilliant dog, not to mention very sweet.  I've had so many friends, family and neighbor's ask if they can come over to see him. 

I love him so much.



He already knows sit, watch me, outside, potty, crate, let's go to bed, shower, stay and he's learning down. 

The other words he definately knows well already....like I said, brilliant !

Two Months


Hugo is VERY smart.  He's already sitting every time he comes in from pottying and the crate training is very smooth.  He adjusted to the leash quickly and is even doing the 3 steps in and out to go potty.  I took the large trash dumpster out to the curb and he was tagging along right behind.  Usually my pup's are a bit afraid at this age.  The dumpster makes alot of noise.


He absolutely loves the kiddie pool I put out on the deck.  I've been cracking up as he jumps in and out of the water....very cute !  My other shepherd has really accepted having another dog in the house ( as usual ).  He snuggled up with Hugo last night on the dog bed.

Puppy Classes

I'm so excited about the future for the two of us.  I signed him up for puppy class at Ann Arbor Training Center starting July 6.  I would still like to come to your class too, so we'll be getting a good start.  I've tried to reach the Dexter facility, and they don't seem to want to return my calls.

The Clean Run magazine you gave me has been extremely informative.  I'm studying for my upcoming scientific conference, so I haven't had a lot of time for pleasure reading, but I have at least skimmed the books too.  I don't plan on doing agility, but I'm very open to different obedience techniques.

If you have any time on Sunday, I'd love to come out one last time before my trip.  Otherwise, give him a big squeeze for me !
