I love it at the park wit my dawgz. I'm so happy to be able to play and be with other pups without feeling anxious and on guard all the time. The dogs where I live still annoy me though but I'm workin' on it!

Home Training Camp!
I'm home!
I've been home 4 days and things have been crazy! I loved my time at Doggie Mannerz Puppy Camp! I wish I had a t-shirt from it!
I came home Monday and was anxious to show all my new swag and skillz. My ladies invited some friends over with their doggies. I LOVE PLAYING WITH DOGGIES and am happy that I know how. But I get scared of doggies at my house when Im on a rope thingy. I can't remember but I think I was tied up all the time on one of them rope things and people weren't nice to me. And where I live everyone is on a rope thingy so it get really really anxious anytime I see other doggies that try to speak to me or come at me. I like my trainer. She comes to work with me and the ladies a few times a week to help me keep getting better.
me & my trainer!
But it's not like that at the doggie park. That's where all my dawgz and new friends hang out and I get to go EVERY DAY because it helps me be more comfortable and calm.
My trainer thinks I may have a thyroid problem cuz I keep losing hair and have to pee a lot. They put me on a new doggie food and I like it alot. They keep talking to me about me going to a Vet. I dont know what that is but I dont think I'm gonna like it. But I guess it's ok because if it makes me feel better like the other vet dude then I can handle it!

Doggie Etiquette
The Ladies have mentioned I've been a Puppy Camp! At first I was confused and scared because I left them and felt like I did something wrong. But it turns out I've been having fun. The reason I went away to puppy camp is because I was taken away from my mommy and siblings too soon and didn't get a chance to learn from them. I wish people wouldn't do that. We puppies need our mommies and litter-mates at least until we are 8 weeks old. Even better for 12 weeks. It teaches us how to get along with other puppies. Now, other puppies and doggies make me nervous and anxious. Sometimes I think they're scary and I don't know how to greet them. So I've been kept away from other doggies. I also like to nip at people. They sometimes just come and touch me, put their hands in my face and I don't know them. Well, you don't like strangers putting their hands on your face and touching you, do you?
Sometimes I wish there was a people camp. So people would know how to greet me. They should basically let me smell them and not touch me. When I smell it's like a doggie handshake. And when Im done they can touch me at my neck or shoulder. After that we can be friends.
I've been a puppy camp for 1 week now and I've learned how to be friends with other doggies. I'm no longer scared or anxious. Life is so much more fun since I learned not to be scared and aggressive, and now that I have learned how to greet other doggies. My mommy missed out teaching me these things but I have a really amazing Trainer named Kendra. My first day with her she made me comfortable with other dogs and that was exciting because I never had that in my life before. It's a good feeling to no longer be afraid all the time. Now the Ladies can take me to visit their friends who have pets like AND I get to go to the doggie parks an play. I can't wait to show the ladies what I've learned.
I have at least 1 more week with my trainer Kendra at doggie camp, but I get to see the ladies on Thursday so they can learn how to maintain my new behaviors.
Here is a link to my trainer's website! She is AWESOME and does free consultations. Tell her Jake sent ya!

Puppy Camp
The Ladies are gonna help me be a therapy dog! But since I'm still a puppy, there are some things I gotta learn. Like meeting other dogs the right way and not pulling on the leash or nipping when I'm bored. I'm at puppy camp right now, learning all of these new things and having a blast!
I made some new friends on the very first day. The ladies were so excited!
