Cookie Man

Banjo traveled to the bank and the drug store this afternoon. He met Al, also known as the Cookie Man, at the drug store. The Cookie Man has always shared his lunch with the dogs when they accompany us. Our puppies love going to the drug store, their anticipation evident by their wagging tail and quickened gait as they exit the car and hurry through the door.

Prior to his dinner, Banjo enjoyed the sights and smells of the grocery store. But, the highlight of his night was watching two hours of The Dog Whisperer and the ill mannered canines that Cesar whips into shape.

Get Cesar's insight on puppy development. Banjo is definitely in Stage 4 of puppy development. It describes his behavior exactly.

"Play-biting may also escalate during this stage, and it should be considered vitally important to correct this behavior rather than allow it to continue. Be sure to correct immediately to allow the puppy to connect the behavior with the correction, and be consistent!"
