Puppy Prodigy Reese at 18 weeks old.

[Darlene S Bentley]

Reese has had the last set of vaccinations. So our socialization can now sky rocket!

He still knows all his commands ... so we will keep practicing them until they are 99.9%. :)

Reese now weighs 31 pounds. He is still very tall and thin ... great lean weight! That is so important for hip development.

Once Reese is 6 months old I will begin a more advanced system of retrieving ... providing I feel he is ready. Service Dog training takes years ... and in the Service Dog world .. "Slow is Fast" ........

Reese was able to go to the lake where we live for his first taste of water ... other than the bowl he picks up and runs with on a daily basis! Lol! ... Or the faucet in the bath tub ... the garden hose ......

I will leave you with some photo's of his development and his fun at the lake. He is taking to the water like a duck! Even Service Dog Prospects need a day off! :D

What a cute little bundle of energy! Congratulations on the good training.

What a cute boy!  Sounds like the training is going well--loved seeing the water dog photos.

Congratulations! Everything seems to be going well. I really like the second to last picture. It looks like he's trying to initiate play with the water!
