Training highlights: on our walks, bongo has been completing the sit command. When we see other dogs, when we see other people, before we enter an exit any doors, and including when we get into the car. He is improving on, holding his sit, and down command. He Go straight into a sit when asked, but he does need some guidance when it comes to the down command. potty training is going well and he is understanding that as soon as he comes out of the crate, he has to go potty. Creating this routine has created a habit for him to have less accidents.

Training highlights: bongo had another accident today, but inside of his crate. He has been doing great with not having accidents around the house, but he may have had too much water, so I will be giving him a water cut off time at night and one less potty break to work on preventing crate in the future

Training highlights: Bongo is still needing some guidance with treats, and with my physical guidance to get him into the down command, but he is learning how to relax at home and in public. He will now lie down by choice, whenever he is not being played or trained with instead of anxiously, running around and trying to jump on everything and everyone.

Training highlights: Sweet Bongo is loving meeting people but is only allowed to be greeted when he is in a sit or down command and not jumping on the person. This is allowing him to understand boundaries, he is learning the “off” command and understanding that if someone doesn’t want to be jumped on he has to move away. being as cute as he is, he gets tons of attention wherever we go, and the park was super busy today. Overall, he did great for being in such a distraction filled environment

Training highlights: bongo has been much better about his puppy nipping. At times when he is overly excited, he will still try to tug on the closest thing to him, but is learning to accept when he is asked to stop, and I usually follow through with a sick command, then give him a treat as a reward

potty training is going great, greeting manners are also going very well. Bongo is right on track for his age and program and he’s having so much fun running around with the other pups. Luckily i have a puppy his size who he is able to socialize with, and learn how to play with. learning boundaries with other dogs is super important so that he doesn’t get himself into trouble and learns how to be warned by other dogs if they are uncomfortable with too much playfulness
