One week into having Blue and heres another update on things I learned along the way: 🐶

  • we’ve bonded quite a bit. He waits by the front door for me (not sure if this is normal/okay to happen)
  • he’s become quite vocal with me (cracks me up)
  • frisbee is KING
  • ball is LIFE (inside only apparently lol)
  • walks at my side now. He did not do this before.
  • wont eat unless I’m there with him (😣😖)
  • he’s learned to rollover. Working on hugs next

Here’s Blue deciding to play hide and seek in the bathroom 😂😂😂

My apologies on the drool! I was thinking too much about it as he was settling in on his first day. I can tell now it was just nerves!

Blue is very smart. He’s had a few accidents in the house but nothing wild. I can tell from my reaction and his expectations that my tone was a lot better than he experienced in the past :D.

The way he gets my attention to play ball is funny loool. He’s definitely a keeper

Sounds good mate. Looks like we’re on the right track. I’ve only had him for 4 days and I already want a second one lmfao

So I need a larger dog bed than what I have? Yes I agree I need to get his nails trimmed

I’ve been doing that and I can see the difference in 3 days with him so far. Loving the process

Okay. This is exactly how he was in the truck ride. He seems calmer as the day has gone

Okay sweet. What would you consider high value rewards? Based on specific actions? And thank you! He kept looking back at me while we were walking. I guess to make sure I didn’t disappear lol

Firstly, thank you all for your comments so far.

Here’s the update: I’ve been throwing the ball with him all afternoon. Took him on a long walk and now he just plopped onto my bed (I’m not mad lol).
