Week 14 half

[Spuds Family]

I haven't had much time in the past to blog until now.  Spuds is our new 14 half week old F2 Mini Golden Doodle.  Thanks to Doodle Kisses and the internet I am trying to train him early in his life.  Today, I have learned that he is the Alpha dog and I am a peon in his pack.  LOL.  Funny but true. He cries in his crate, I comfort him.  He will not eat on his own, I hand feed him.  Get the picture.  Well today is a new day. 

We started with a walk where he walked almost behind me the whole way.  My hand did get tired.  We played the game, I am going to jump over the gate and you are going to chase me, about 15 times.  He played, lets terrorize the other dogs in the house because I am bigger and Mommy can't catch me.....I put him in his crate after going out to pee, and ignored his cries.  Finally, he is very quite.  But it's almost time to go out to pee again......SIGH.  I guess we call that a do over??

Spud is one determined little doodle--adorable too from his photo.  Good luck with the training--it will pay huge dividends in the end.  The hardest part with training is often not the dog but the human!

It's a tug of war at times, who is in charge:)  LOL

Spuds is, it sounds, doing his job and training you just right!  Enjoy the new addition.
