Echo went to the Hound Huddle for puppy socialization hour or as Echo class it "Happy Hour". Quite a crowd today - about ten puppies. Our focus today was discipline, not fun. At the beginning of the session, Echo remained on leash for calm greetings with canines and humans. The room is filled with a dozen sofas, so it's a challenge keeping him off the furniture when other dogs are using it.
About half way through we had Echo do a DOWN STAY. He maintained his position with balls bouncing, puppies running by, and a few puppies licking him. Everyone else was so impressed, we could not have been prouder.
Echo found a few mates to chase and wrestle with, Kona and Bella. As usual at happy hour, the puppies returned home bloody; Bella lost a tooth and Echo lost two of his own.
