Getting Started!

At 10 weeks old, Breeze does not have much of an attention span. Everything that we do at this point is fun and games. We spent a while today just walking in the field. Everything is new and an adventure and even a little scary at times. We'll spend some time out there everyday. We want that to be a place associated with fun.

We are also working on some basic commands. The first one a new puppy needs is "NO". This is a command that you want to use a stern voice and I use a tap on the nose. We're going to keep working on this one as she isn't getting. Time and consistency will bring her around before too long.

The second one we are working on is "SIT". She is a little more receptive to this one, as it involves a treat. She will see the treat and I will tell her "SIT" as I push her rear end down. After a couple of seconds I give her the treat and tell her she is a good girl. We'll keep working on them. Should get a little better every day.

Last night Breeze had a little bit of time up on the bed with me. She and I fell a sleep and all was well until Jenni came in about midnight. At that point everyone was up (Maya & Rio were on the bed also) and all the ruckus was just too much and Breeze had to go back to her kennel. Maybe we'll try it again tonight.

Well, it's out to the kennel to start serving up supper.
