G'day folks, netching upw [ic,hope you all like. I wanted to post some new puppy photos and noticed the Aussie White discussion and will read all later when time permits.It's been cold again this morning 0/1c. trying to get a load of washing done along with another 2 loads.The two girls along with Michelle's partner were down over Easter ,loved catching up. The little stove/heater will be running every afternoon now to cook and keep warm.The second one is the third day of puppy school,they must sit quietly sit and wait for me to tell "OK". T.O.R.

You always have the best looking puppies! Glad you had a good Easter!

 

[Finnie]

That’s impressive, getting them to all sit at once!

 

[Mini Horses]

Yeah -- and puppies, all at once. . I still like the tan. That attention is so intense, look at the stare. One in front just waiting for food, tan is waiting for an order.

G'day and "thank you". This is the first of several lessons the pups will learn before they leave me for their new working homes. The next step is for them to hold the sit until the feed is on the ground and the OK command os given..T.O.R.

I wouldn't have guessed one could get a pup that age to sit and stay for food!

That's about the best way to work on obedience. I had a Lab years ago that I could put a cracker on top of her snout and tell her to stay and she would hold until she got the OK. I did that one day and had a friend show up when she was just starting her stay. I must have been talking outside for 15 minutes or so and when I came back in, there was a pool of drool and Nicki got an extra treat plus her cracker.
