Our New Puppy - Banjo

Yesterday we traded in our nine month old "trained" puppy for a newer model. We picked up Banjo, who is almost four months old, from his initial puppy raiser and left Marley behind. Not sure we made a good trade.

Banjo has been having some issues being quiet in his crate, so we moved his crate in the bedroom to be with us. Actually that's where we always start out the puppies. He will be transitioned to another room and eventually the basement when we feel he is ready.

His other reported issue is a weak or non-existent recall, basically not coming when called. We immediately started working on this. We loaded up our pockets with treats and called him to us any chance we got. Essentialy we became treat dispensers, getting him to COME and SIT in front of us repeatedly.

A new journey begins ...
