Blue's Updates
September 2023
I can’t say enough good this things about this puppy. Blue is always ready to work and is coming along nicely with all her skills. She is calm and confident in new situations, she is eager to please and has great focus. At home, Blue loves cuddles and playing with her housemate Tweet.
October 2023
NSD Blue has had a very busy October! We have been working on lots of new skills like “come”, “touch”, “under”, and “stay”. Her stay is really steady even in new environments and with adding pretty tough distractions. She has enjoyed spending some time with me at work where she is able to settle nicely on her bed. Long line walks through the woods are her favourite activity right now! At home she rarely leaves my side and loves cuddles when I sit on the floor with her. She’s convinced she’s a lap dog!
