My time has been spent chasing him around the apartment, making sure he doesn't pick up every single little thing he sees on the floor, and try to eat it. I've been working hard to make sure he doesn't always want to kill Chloe (Andy and Val's cat). I've had so much fun with him, he loves sleeping on me and Hayley and chewing our faces, but I wouldn't change a thing.
I don't know how other puppies function, or how they act, but I think I've been lucky with Ollie. Hayley and I have been training him to come, sit, down (lay down) and shake! He is doing so well with it all. Out on walks, he has already learned to sit at the edge of the road before we cross it.
On the way back in from our walks, he seems to either be afraid or just, I don't know... RETARDED, but he wont climb the stairs half the time. There are only three and they're small. Sometimes he sprints right up them and other times he refuses to even come near them. He'll run right up to the bottom step, and stop FAST! Then just look up at me all goofy and wait for me to pick him up and carry him to the door.
All in all he is just a big pile of goober and he is a lot of fun, plus a lot of work. I love him and I am excited to see him develop and grow with me and Hayley.
Also!!!! I don't have any videos/pictures right now, however! I will have some later today in a new post. I've been very busy with classes, finals and the pup, so I will try and find some time to do it later today!
Okay, I'm not going to lie- this blog is ADORABLE. You guys are too cute. Barkley was also afraid of stairs when he was little. Maybe it's the height of them for little puppies? Don't worry, he'll get over it!
ReplyDeleteHe's finally started to go up and down them! It's great to not have to carry him every time... hahaha.
