Puppy Update

We have great news!  Odin does not have neoplasia, just an immune reaction most likely due to his first set of antibiotics.  He is also negative for intestinal parasites including giardia.  He's gained 2lbs and is much more active, although his stool is still too soft he is showing overall improvement.  Next week he's going to get his last DHPP vaccine.

House training is still a work in progress although with his GI problems that have yet to resolve there is only so much that can be done.  He's making it through the night and keeping his crate clean for short periods.  He also will go by the back door if he needs to go out.  Only 1-2 accidents in the house this past week, both owner mistakes for letting him get out of sight.

We have continued with some clicker training and also puppy bite work.  Although a double doodle he has a lot of drive.  Even if he doesn't do any protection work he will definitely have some toy and ball drive for obedience work.

Excited that he is doing so much better.  We will be able to get a video up and posted on Saturday to talk about clicker training.  We'll definitely use Odin to show the development from the clicker to hand signals to verbal cues.  Following along with the development of obedience we will also discuss and post videos on leash and collar work and eventually how to move to off leash obedience.
