Sheltie Forum Pups Spring/Summer 2014

Barb, LOL. I work at a dog bakery on Monday's and they will go to work with me. It think it will be fun for her once she gets used to it. We do have a fenced area out back for them to do business but is mostly pavers and Zak is not a fan but will do till I get her comfortable walking in strange areas on a leash.

Car riding turns her into a sack of cement. I took them both today thinking Zak would help her comfort level- she did okay. I need to have Mark drive us on little rides and I can sit in the back with her and give her a few treats.

I did take her back out front for a walk today and she did better so it will take some time.
 
You want to make car rides no big deal. Sometimes you're going to the vet, sometimes to the dog parks, sometimes to the pet store.

I would not super cuddle in the car. Just make sure they are comfortable. Bottom line is that they have to get used to the car and sometimes they will go someplace fun,, sometimes, not so much.

I changed from a crate to a booster seat.....Callan just major chills in this. I had him in a crate before and he could never settle.

Plus I have a car seat hammock for Indy so he doesn't mess my seats or fall into the seat wells. Once Callan gets big enough he will be out of the booster seat and be a big boy like Indy

Two steps forward, 1/2step back....

Just a reminder to self.....dont get complaisant about housetraining!

I thought I had Callan nailed. So gave him a little extra freedom in house. Two poops in two days inside (not in his crate).

His schedule has changed. Id forgotten that part of puppyhood. Now I have to revisit our outside visits rejigged to his new program! I remember this with Bacca. Same thing happened
 
Enzo went to the door today and whined at it just once. I let him out and he pooped--woohoo!

Also, at 10.5 weeks he is 9.25" tall and weighs 4 lbs 8 oz.

I told Celtic about Enzos' progress. He said he was not impressed:razz:

Celtic is sleeping all night and I called that a victory.

He is the same height at the same age. Not sure how much he weights.

Unfortunately I don't have a wicket--that would be the official way. I just back Enzo up against a wall and make sure his legs are fairly well stacked. Then I take a pencil and find his withers and use the pencil at the level of his withers to mark the wall. I give him a couple breaks and do it a few times to make sure I'm getting the same spot.
 
My love/hate with puppies

Callan is 14 weeks old today and is starting his brat phase, I think. And his pee/poo schedule is changing....just when I thought I had it nailed.

Instead of eating his dinner, he has decided zoomies first. At lunch time he decided he just wanted to nap. No eating.

He barks to go out, then just plays. When I give up and gring him in he poops.

Food is just not interesting today. I suspect teething? Or is this too early?

Mornings are the worst. Pee, poo, eat, play pee, poo some more. Uuum! I have to get into the shower sometime, pup!

Sigh!

Ps now stuck outside now for last 15 minutes....nothing, though he barked and circled beforehand. Time, pup! Inside we go....now just have to get you in.......
