"Come"

For the last couple of weeks I have been working on the Come command.I think it is really important and is very useful. Breeze has picked up on it really well and is getting really good at it. Here are a few pictures of her coming! Sorry about the dead grass!

4 Month Day

Breeze turned 4 months old yesterday but I was not home so I could not write this post! Well Happy 4 month day Breeze!!! Well since she is 4 months old that also means that she has gotten her 16 week shots and that also means that we can start taking her places. She has been to 2 places with me. She went to Target and then to a restaurant. She did really well in both but threw up a little in both. Anyway the 4 things I love and 4 things I need to work on are:

Love:
1. She is very smart.
2. The places I have taken her she does really well.
3. Does sit really well and also Wait.
4. Her attitude is awesome. She is always happy and willing to please!

Work on:
1. The throwing up.
2. Her stay. She always gets up before you tell her to.
3. Her down. She hates going down although is always Lying Down
4. Walking on a leash. She pulls while walking so I have been using the Gentle Leader and Halti

Down Wait

Well since Breeze has figured out sit I have now been making her go down and wait for her food. She is getting really good and is picking up on down really well. She will go down on her own sometimes and other times I just have to help her a little. Breeze is learning commands really fast and I am very proud of her. We are working on Stay with her now because she knows what wait is.

Discovery Academy

On Saturday for our puppy meeting we went to this school for trouble teens called Discovery Academy. It was a great experience being with all the teens there. They were nicer then you expected and you wouldn't think anything was wrong. They had a lot of fun playing with all the dogs.

The school had a blind guy come with his guide dog and did his presentation. After the presentation the teens got to go around to all the dogs and play with them. Breeze had a great time. Also Breeze got to see her sister Becky. It was the first time since the puppy truck so I think they had a lot of fun.

Almost There

Well today is Breeze's 3 month Birthday so, I will go with what everyone else does and follow the crowd and say 3 things that I like about Breeze. I will also add 3 things that we need to work on.
Things I like

1. I love how she loves to be with people.

2. I love her coloring. Mainly on her ears though.

3. I like how she takes so long to eat any meal. That means that I can do more stuff in between her eating!

Things to work on

1.Accidents. We went on a walk yesterday and she pooped on the sidewalk. I know she is only 3 months but that still something that shouldn't be happening quite so often now that she is getting older.

2. The down command. She hasn't quite caught on to the command yet. She doesn't really like it either.

3. Chewing everything. She has gotten better from when we had her but she still tries to chew our couch, Chairs, Table Cloth, and we have her tie down to our railing by our stairs and she chews on her tie down and even sometimes the wood on the stairs.

Breeze gone?

   Well Breeze is at a puppy sitters this weekend and I know you are all thinking that a little early because I have only had her for a week and the answer is maybe but I called my leader and asked if it was okay for her to be puppy sat for the weekend and she said yes. The reason she is at a puppy sitters is because we have lots of people coming over tomorrow (Sunday) and we didn't want to stress her out and we needed to clean the house so we took her to a puppy sitters. We haven't done much since I last wrote but on Sunday I took lots of photos of her. We also had her first puppy meeting on Wednesday. We now have 11 dogs in our group and we have around 3 more coming in June and 3 leave the same day. I have also have given her another bath.

I love this picture!

My one dog Graham is always laying not to far away from Breeze its really cute.

For the first couple of days Breeze was scared about going down stairs so this was one of her first times ever going down the stairs.

B puppy

Well today I got my little girl. Her name is Breeze and she is a yellow female. There are 9 puppies in her litter. 5 boys and 4 girls. All 4 girls where on the puppy truck today. She is more a white color than yellow. Her parents are Piedmont and Geraldine.

Miss. B

Well I have figured out what my dog will be. It will be a Female Yellow Lab. The first letter of her name is B. I think it is really hard to come up with names for it. I hope I will like the name!!

~Katherine

May it is!

     Well it is official I am getting a puppy to raise on May 7th. It will be a 12 week old yellow female. I am way excited to get her! One problem I have though is that I may not be able to go to the puppy truck to pick her up because I may have End of the Year testing that I may not be able to miss. Hopefully I can go pick her up I'm crossing my fingers!!
