Saturday he turned 11 weeks old. HOLY CRAP he is getting so big! We've been working on using the gentle leader and so far he doesn't mind it too much. Today I took him to the grocery store for the first time (quick pop in, about 5 minutes) and we practiced the gentle leader. At first, he was kind of annoyed but he got over it and was fine. This particular grocery store is one where Triton went often, so the employees know that we have guide dogs, and gave us no trouble for having him there (you would be surprised at what people say sometimes).
On Saturday we had a club BBQ at our leader's house. Finnegan got to run around and play with the three other baby puppies in our club, as well as some of the older puppies who are leaving in a few weeks. He had the time of his life!
The car ride there took about an hour (she lives in the mountains and we live in the valley). Lol Kristin and Finnegan both look so great in the picture.
Finnegan, stop biting Bena (her real name is Verbena but that's a moutful!)!
He has so much fun-that's a giant jolly ball!
He just likes to bite!
I love this picture because it looks like Bena is flying through the air! I promise she's not photoshopped in!
He also loves to play with Sandy! They're gonna be best friends!
When we got home that night, Finny was completely exhausted!
Yes, he's still laying like this...
Please excuse the crap everywhere....puppies make messes, lol.
Our leader gave us some ideas on how to help with his biting and they seem to really be helping! There haven't been any more accidents resulting in bloodshed so that's really good!
We had another puppy meeting today and for whatever reason, Finnegan was extremely distracted by another baby in our club, Gadget. While I was expecting Finny to be a little naughty, he was basically a wild puppy! I guess we'll have to work harder on distractions!
Another thing Finnegan has been doing really well on is commands. Like I've said before, he's already learned come, sit, and do your business. We've been working on "down" and he's doing great! He does it most of the time, but it's not perfect yet. Overall, Finnegan has improved a bunch since we've happened, which is pretty impressive, seeing as we've only had him for 2 weeks(:
