    I am not in your area, but ... you should know that dog training is about teaching you how to interact with your dog, as opposed to teaching your dog how to do things. Most area Kennel Clubs offer training where you are your dogs partner in the class. The things you will learn will last your lifetime. I applaud the non-punitive approach. A lot of people fly off the handle when their dog chews on the wrong thing, or doesn't quite have potty training down. One of the best things you can do is give them love when they do it right and don't react when they don't. Recognize that he's just a pup. You can trade an acceptable chew toy for your shoes, and you can avoid the problem by closing the closet door so your pup can't get to your shoes. Accidents will happen and learning to potty doesn't happen overnight. Just provide a lot of verbal love when the pup gets it right and don't react when he doesn't. Love and praise are the best tools in your training bag. Congrats on your pup. Can't wait to hear about all of your adventures!

    They're so pretty and look very happy together! It really does seem easier to have two. Little Kaia is all grown up! Ava is, too… in size. She still acts like a rambunctious puppy. ;) I'm guessing Kaia, like Ava, thinks that girls are boss and rules the roost at your house. Loki doesn't seem to mind. Such a good-natured boy!

    Miss Kaia has grown up to be such a beautiful girl! That black coat is so gorgeous and glossy. She and Loki make a lovely pair, and they seem so happy together! I love how they're so playful and how Kaia uses Loki for a pillow. LOL! Hmmm… maybe I should rethink getting a second one. But then Ava chews the carpet, eats the plants or pees on my bed and I stick with my singleton plan. ;)

    Loki didn't get the memo…

    @Kipawa: When watching the first video, it seemed that Loki would only go as deep as he still could have his feet on the ground. But on the second video, it does look like he is swimming with the black dog. :) He likes to stay where he can still touch the bottom, but will swim out farther sometimes if a dog he is playing with goes deeper. We also live on a small lake and though he's gone in the dog park lake without reservation for months, he's always acted like a typical B with our lake, even when chasing the ducks out of the yard. Until today. My father-in-law and husband were tossing in bread and Loki's old kibble for the ducks and fish and wouldn't ya know it? In Loki goes, chasing ducks and eating the bread and kibble! And he went out farther than he's ever gone in the dog park lake, actually swimming out, but of course the ducks were faster ;)
