He’s now 12 weeks old. Jasper has nearly lived here a month. I recently got a dog training book from the AKC. I’m glad I didn’t know some of the things in the book. Jasper has been able to “sit” on command for at least 2 weeks. He’s nearly housebroken. I can’t trust him alone in the house yet, but it’s coming. He heels a little. He knows “down.” He just learned that one 2 dyas ago. Once he gets a command and gets rewarded, he remembers and does it again. I don’t have to teach him over and over–just reinforce the training. He doesn’t really “come” though. He will often return to his crate. He’s known “crate” for about 3 weeks. And of course, he knows “no,” “stop,” and “off.”

I have some great photos (great camera) of my pets, so I’m looking into creating holiday cards with my pets.
