So, I started our with names but have resorted to their birth numbers because of all the paperwork it's easier. The kids love it because we have 11. So, naturally one is named Eleven like the heroine from stranger things. This is Ten having some fun. She's already spoken for by a family. Please let me know if you know of a good home. We have about half spoken for so far and I'd love to make sure they all land in loving environments.#puppy #puppies #puppylove #cutepuppy #lovepuppies
Morning playtime. my rug has seen better days. Thank God for the wet vac. They somehow know to beat up on the toy stuffie instinctively. #puppy #puppies #lovepuppies #cutepuppy
End of lunch playtime. Literally as they wind down. #puppies #puppylove #puppy
Teaching "come" and "come see" early is already starting to pay off. #puppy #puppies #cutepuppy #lovepuppies
Fights are no big deal till there are teeth. Anyone have good tips for teaching pups not to bite?
"I too am not a bit tamed, I too am
Untranslatable,
I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of
the world"

Pretty irresistible at this point. #puppy

This marks the 16th straight day of adorable portipoop/protidoodle in Puslinch. I personally call them Moopy Poops.
Today you get a glimpse of exercise time & how I deter yappinesss.
While I march them in the puppy pool I'm careful to be a little more rough & quick with them than they have been used to. This gets them past any anxieties with fast human movements & behaviours because they're having fun. They love talking & interacting. I'm confident Bob Marley would deem all 11 of these pups chill. We're after that Irie feelin' but we're not lookin for lazy. So this sets a culture of both chill & active; speeds up their muscle & brain development; & gets them set for loftier challenges while we prepare them for forever homes.
As you can see Mom, Freya, helps keep them awake. At first she couldn't resist giving into their squeals & laying down to feed them. Puppies are sirens. She's a smart cookie & caught on quickly. Now she snouts them to keep them moving & awake with me.
Bad behavior in pups is dealt with the same as with kids. First with love then with firm + consistent + love.
If you have a yappy dog/puppy & want to change it then don't let it go unaddressed. If you ignore yaps or unintentionally reward it with attention when it yaps (rather than discipline) then you have trained your intelligent dog to be more yappy.
Yappy is no buena at my house!
These pups will not only arrive at their forever homes less yappy. They will also arrive responding to new families who say "shh" or "ah ah ah" as I say in this video. Just like kids off to kindergarten.
You'll notice I center her out & bring her up to my breath then use my playful voice hoping to calm her = all you are ultimately after. She protests & squirms more = her doubling down. So I deliberately hold her away from me in a manner she hates (scruff of neck is well known for this). Puppies like to be held near your breath & ideally where they can feel your heartbeat. Holding them away is

Better view of the drunken sailor walk they have developed the last day or so.
