Time is flying with the dogs. They are starting to calm down but only a little. Pups... what are you going to do.

It's almost time to invest in new collars for the guys. The smaller ones are getting down to the last adjustment. I am considering choke collars for them as back ups. I am also considering muzzles for when we take them to ballgames with us. The kids love them but still don't know to be a little cautious with their nibbling. I really don't want any angry parents or scared children.

Inside training is still going well with the number of accidents moving toward minimal. Outside training is tough. Too many distractions. I will be glad to get invisible fence installed in a couple months and get them trained for that which will allow them more freedom to run about.

If we are out working in the yard (which is alot of the time) I use those stakes to secure them. I do have to space them out to allow them to get close but try to have them far enough so that they do not become a mass of tangles in the leads. So they are learning to dig holes. I think the one hole will lead to China eventually. They are having fun with it and then the kids fill the hole with water and have mud ball war. If they are all staying busy who am I to complain? Just means more baths! I can deal with that.

I have had my little pup now for almost two weeks. She is doing great. She no longer cries at night in her crate and she goes to the door now to let me know she needs to go outside! For a seven week old puppy I think that is GREAT! She will still have an occasional accident, but that is mostly in her crate at night. She is still having problems with biting my kids and me and my husband. But we're working on that too.
