Last week I started a thread asking for ideas on a new dog name. We ended up going with Pearl btw.
So now that we've had her for a few days, I've started doing some easy playing/ training. I've already read both Family Dog and Gun Dog by Wolters. I like both books and will stick with it, I just wish he would be more descriptive of what he actually does when he trains. For example during the time of 7 weeks to 12 weeks old he describes this as preschool. It's playful training with no real discipline. Problem is, he doesn't really go into any details of what or how to do this during this time. First thing he talks about is getting pup used to a leash, most of the training will take place with a leash on during this time. I've been working with her for the past 2 days on the leash dragging her around but I'm afraid I'm not making it fun for her. (I know it's a dog..) I would like to introduce some dove wings as apart of the play time, how do you guys do that?
This is when we first got her home and she met our other dog Bella
She fell asleep half way on the step that evening
