LOOKING BACK
Eight weeks have passed since Ellie’s babies came into the world and filled our days. Remember how tiny they were…..I could hold them in the palm of my hand. They have learned so much over these past eight weeks. This past week we have worked on what is acceptable behaviour – sit to get picked up, play nice, kisses (not nips).
We have also challenge puppies to use their brain. One such challenge was to descend the rock steps to get to the big yard. Willow’s puppies faced this challenge with much more ease but, every litter is different and learn at their own pace. The video’s and pics below show the puppies at seven weeks old facing this challenge. (Note – Willow’s puppies are whining in the background of these videos – they want to join Ellie’s puppies 😂)
Time to Close the Gate
With lots of encouragement, all Ellie’s puppies finally made it down and enjoyed their reward – to run and explore the yard together.
What a difference a week makes!
Over the past week the puppies worked on this challenge – what a difference a week makes!
