    Well, nearly 15 weeks, I guess. Recall is awesome at the moment, always rewarded with some variation on a treat, with jackpots when she recalls off something high-value. Had her first off-lead moment yesterday, only for 60s in the park, didn’t venture very far and low-value distractions but recalled twice with enthusiasm. Does not recall…

    Dylan had a complete meltdown in the first run, he didn’t start off very well but as we got to the seesaw he shut off entirely. I’ve never had that happen before and to be honest, I don’t know what I can do about it now; he was fine on the seesaw at training and…

    Rio 12 Weeks Originally uploaded by kayanem That left ear was promising trouble even at this stage. It’s dropped into a rose fold at the moment, damn it! Offering left turns on hand signals now, she’s learning faster than I can come up with new things to do. Our Elephant Trick morphed into “sitting on…

    So, doing the list of what Rio is doing at 12 weeks actually made me breathe a little easier. I’ve been worried I’m not doing enough with her, but when seeing it all written out I feel like we’re doing ok. She’s only been here 2.5weeks, we’re fitting everything in. Her 14-days waiting for the…

    Just notes so I remember what stage we were at! Rio believes in early to bed, early to rise. Current wake up time is 5am, far too early. Bedtime between 7:30-8:30pm. She can do Sit, Paw, and Down on command. Luring left turns as she’s showing more aptitude for the right side at the moment…

    Rio’s litter was the Sweetie Litter (hence her KC name!), and she was called Crunchie. The 6 week photos were taken when we first went to visit the litter and the breeder (and meet mum, dad, and a few other relatives). Can’t believe how much she’s grown this past week, starting to look like a…

    Most of the photos I have are blurry right now. Mainly because as soon as I crouch to take a photo, she runs towards me. Which is adorable, but not particularly photogenic. She’s confident and independent and noisy and everything I love. Of course, being confident, independent and noisy also means she’s into everything/everywhere she…
