#2Doods Report Cards

Well, the pups continue to grow and learn. We've been so busy lately that training has fallen by the wayside.

So before we get back into the training groove, we thought we'd share their current report cards with you.

MURPHY at 4 months:

• Housebreaking: A+
• Leash: C
  ~ not good walking at the same time as Cooper, not enough practice
• Obedience: B+
• Basic Commands [sit, stay, leave it]: A-
• Learning the word 'NO': A
• Table manners: A+
  ~ sits & waits quietly while Cooper finishes eating & we pick up the bowl
• Comes when called: A-
• Drops things when told to: B
• Defiant: A-
• Biting, Nibbling, or otherwise unauthorized use of teeth: A-
• Chewing 'chewies': A+
• Chewing 'non chewies": C
  ~ loves to chew anything wood on the deck, including the lattice/railing
• Barking at 'nothing': A
• Jumping: B-
• Counter Surfing: A-
  ~ only because he's not tall enough yet!
• Emotional Sensitivity Level: Super Sensitive
  ~ cowers when we say 'No Bark' to Cooper because he associates it with the PetCorrector and he hates that

NOTES: Need to get better at walking in tandem, needs more training on advanced commands. VERY smart, uses the bell to get Cooper to go out so he can steal Cooper's chewie. Also barks once to come in, and when in, if Cooper is still out, he will ring the bell for us to let Cooper in.

We love our pups!!! Cooper is definitely THE JOCK and Murphy is definitely THE NERD/BRAINIAC. LOL!

Ciao for now!
