13 weeks...going on 14 Weeks

Haven't posted in a bit, Thorne's been keeping us busy :) Still taking him to parks for walks and socializing. He's also started basic obedience classes a week ago. His next class is tomorrow. He seems to be getting the sit really well (with a little tug on leash after walking in a somewhat heel) . He always sits at home for lots of stuff like waiting for his dinner, treats, basically if we ask him to sit, most of the time he complies. 

 He is also doing the down with a treat pretty good now. This morning he was out in yard with me and responded the best he has ever with the "come" command for a treat. Very uplifting to me knowing he has such potential even though he can be easily distracted and hyper at times....but he is just a puppy. 

He is a good pup though, just wants to play as he should enjoy his youth :) Our only big wish: please ease up on the rough playbiting....OUCH! 

11 Weeks, 22 Pounds :)

   Thorne went to the vet on 9/5 (just turned 11 weeks) and had a good checkup. He was a bit apprehensive with the vet but I know the more he sees her the better he will be. 

  We also took him to Dean Park and Lake Park for some socializing.  He's met a handful of other dogs and lots of people and some kids. He also went inside my work today to meet some more coworkers.  We feel a bit better about having his next set of shots and want to socialize him more while it's still crucial at his age.  

   He saw our neighbors tonight again and he was being silly "shy" but came up to them finally and they pet him. He was holding his paw up while sitting. He does that a lot. Too Cute! I showed them how he sits and gives paw...and he did it right there outside with them there !!! I was sooo proud. Other doggies we have had wouldn't do that when outside and lots of distractions. He did great :)
