Potty training going well

 

He has definitely been more stubborn than most I've had. But he finally gets the "going outside" thing. 

For the longest we tried treats, waiting it out, even long walks JUST for him to come home and pee. He still has his accidents but most the time now he'll go outside. We still have to get him to poop outside, not sure why that's a thing too. 

He's lost multiple puppy teeth. Most he chewed up, one we got a hold of but it was pretty chewed up already. 

He is starting to sit by the door and jump up and nuzzle you in the morning when he needs to go potty. He loves to chew on everything..... I mean everything. His favorite are bully sticks and antlers. 

He has been eating a ton, as he should. And hes grown so much since we got him. Tall enough to stand and pull something off the counters (yea not impressed lol) 

He's still a hyper cuddle bug. Wants to just be next to you and all your attention.

Enjoying the summer

It's weird because Dero loves the summer heat. He hates it when it rains. But when it's 94 degrees outside and we don't want to stand outside waiting for him to go potty, he'll lay down and just bask. He almost reminds me of one of those southern dogs sitting out on the porch. lol He definitely enjoys outside and walks. We don't run, but he'll take you for your money for anyone who does and becomes his furever home. He is starting to get routines down. He'll sit at the door when he has to go potty (most of the time). He will paw at me in the morning if he wants to go outside. He's learning to wait while our little dog eats and drinks some water before he goes in to gulp it all down. He still loves to cuddle and doesn't know his paws are huge and even though he's gentle, he's just big. lol. So we're still working on that. BUT he's beginning to learn some boundaries.

Summer is here

Dero loves going out. Besides spending time doing whatever we want, he does perk up when we put our shoes on and grab his leash. It's so amazing to see the transition from when he first came and didn't know what the leash was and what "outside" was.  Now he just walks up to the door, sits for you to leash him (most of the time) and then his ears perk up when he hears all the noises. He sticks his nose up in the air for all the new smells (aka bbqing) lol.  He's learned from our dog when our neighbors walk their dogs he wags his tail and stands there. He doesn't bark, he doesn't pull but he's definitely curious. Thank goodness because he has gotten quite strong. Dero wouldn't mind a family with another dog who loves to play too. He definitely wouldn't mind a wrestling buddy!! Some days I feel bad because our little sheltie really tries, but he's just a tad on the small side so he can't take Dero's play power. His mouth play and just ...
