Play Time and Training Time






Beaux has had a lot of fun here playing with the dogs. However, it is not all play. Even during his play sessions with the others, I will often call him over to sit or lie down next to me and have him relax. I will also make to other dogs do the same, but even if they are running about, he must learn to be obedient and do as I ask. 

He has also learned his "Place" command very well. He will relax on his bed all night and has learned to stay there even when I am not in the room. The other dogs are also in the room with him on their "place" as well. We have let him share a bed, on occasion, with Mara. The two of them have become great friends and he is so cute with her!
