Harley's Updates
January 2023
Harley is a fun and quirky puppy with a big love for food! She is currently working on settling in her crate, learning what a leash and her other gear are as well as a bunch of basic cues. She catches on so quickly and is making amazing progress so far!
June 2023
Harley is working on new skills like up-up, off and working with other handlers. She continues to work on all the skills she has learned up to this point in grade school with added distractions as well.
August 2023
Harley is a smart puppy who has been working on learning skills like spin, touch and settling. She is very gentle and elegant and loves to say hi to everyone in the morning. Recently, she has gone swimming a couple of times and while she doesn’t love swimming she does love to wade and is an adventurous dog.
November 2023
Harley is a happy girl who loves to weave around everyone’s legs in excitement. Recently she has become much better at settling in unfamiliar situations and staying quiet. Her recall has also greatly improved from all distances. She is a sweet dog who loves to play fetch and race around the backyard whenever given the chance. Her favourite types of sticks are definitely birch. She is currently working on her spin and not getting to dizzy.
April 2024
Harley is a friendly, sociable, chill puppy. She loves being with you wherever you are in the house and particularly enjoys lying on your feet. Harley is working on her loose leash walking skills and is responding very well to positive reinforcement and treats. She loves the outdoors; walking, hiking, and strolling through streams.
