*******Warning: Thread may contain graphic pics of blood, innards, dead animals, etc., as we live on and work a homestead, on which this pup's job is integral. If this offends you, you might want to leave the thread now. ******
Thought I'd move my training of our 2.5 mo. old LGD pup over to a new thread and quit dominating Southern's training thread. I was starting to gush and goo over the pup and that's not instructional at all.![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Will update as I go along. Today was the first day Ben didn't respond to a correction when told to do something, so I now have two areas on which to concentrate...stay and come, particularly when faced with things that excite him.
Tomorrow I work on his harness that will carry his receiver for our electric containment system so that it fits him better. After today and his brief jaunt through the woods he is no longer trusted to stay with my older dog, so must be placed on our system earlier than I had anticipated.
Today he had an exciting day...the first day of archery season with fresh game all around, blood and gore galore and everything a puppy could want. This was his waterloo, as he became too excited by it all to obey simple commands. He is currently doing a time out on a tie out for his transgressions. I will release him tomorrow morning and will work with him this week on these areas.
Pics of his day today...he had a big day full of new things and a lot of activity here, so I wasn't real hard on him when he slipped up, but he definitely knew he had done wrong. Smart pup!
