my 2 pups

April 15, 2013 by

Here are my 2 pups. One for retriever training, and one for kid protection, yard cleaning. We live along rivers which are natural travel routes for critters big and small, so an oversize German Shepard works well. This little 5 month old 55lb "cub" should grow into his former bosses role. Bosco was a very smart dog and knew his job. This little guy already tries to look and sound BIG as he patrols the perimeter reacting to sounds and smells. He is in the wonky ear stage.

Retriever training is not that easy, as it is my first time starting from a pup. So far, keeping everything short and fun is working. Book say, not to overdo it for first while. If i can manage to not screw it up, this weimeraner lab cross should hunt, she's got a helluva nose!

It is very difficult training 2 pups at the same time, but after awhile the rewards start to show when they all get it right. Basic commands are going very very well. The more time i spend with each one individually, the faster they learn.
