Millies 3rd week

I am really good at doing sit now..and now I am learning “down” , which is lie down. When I do sit my human then puts the treat on the ground in front of me and I put my nose down and she moves it away .If I keep my bottom on the ground I have to go down to get the treat. Sometimes I forget to keep my bottom on the ground and my human reminds me by putting her hand over it to keep it there. She says Millie ..down at the same time..more pats..more good girls, more treats.
My family is a mum, a dad and 2 children. All the family help with my training by all doing and saying the same thing. The children have learnt how to ask me to sit and down too..and that’s really helpful that they all do and say the same thing..otherwise I could be a confused puppy. I get visitors come and meet me and they are asked to make sure I sit when I greet them..my human has to train them too…
My human children love to play and pat and cuddle me. I play with balls and in the paddling pool at my house. I have a big section and I am so lucky that my human has a Doggy Day Care and Pet Home Stay at their house. This means I get lots of other dogs to play with and learn things from. My human says dogs are pack animals and so need to meet and interact with other dogs and all the dogs that come and stay here have lots of time to do that. I feel sorry for dogs that are at home alone all day. I hear that solitary confinement is a punishment for humans…how do they think their dogs feel being in solitary confinement???
This week my human bought me some green tripe to eat as well…she says it smells awful but I love the smell and the taste..yum yum.
It’s great fun being a healthy puppy..
