A Puppie's Progress


Our foster pup Ralphie during some of his training sessions. Ralphie is looking for the perfect home to call his own!


1. This is about 15 mins into his first session. I sit down on his level use a small room and only a small space in that room. I teach "follow" first so he will learn to follow my hand. This helps me postion him where I need him for later training. Lots of treats and praise.

2. The Same lesson as before but now I'm off the floor and using more space.

3. Stay is added in, I'm using the whole room and only giving treats after he has accomplished several commands in a row.

4. This is not the first walk session, he has had many. But here he has mastered stopping when I stop with no verbal or visual commands.

5. And this one is just teaching him some fun things like fetch. I use a soft toy to start because puppies have an easier time carrying soft things than they do balls.

Ralphie is available for adoption through Fuzzy Pawz. Find out how to adopt him at...
