We have a new baby--baby borzoi, that is! Meet Tatsuya, meaning "become dragon and accomplish its wisdom and longevity." Ok, I know, that's a big name for a little guy, but I have every confidence that he'll grow into it. Tatsuya is a twelve week old borzoi puppy, and has already begun his intensive training for his work as my dog training assistance and demo dog for Picture Perfect Pets, allowing Toffee to retire to the life of luxury she has always deserved, or at least, to retire to a reduced, more leisurely schedule as she takes it easier on her aching knees and hips.
There's nothing like raising a puppy to refresh one's dog training skills. Yes, those 3 am and 6 am potty breaks for puppies really are on the agenda! (Though thankfully and amazingly, Tatsu slept through the whole night last night!) And yes, "out of sight is in trouble." But it gets easier each time you raise a new puppy, and Toffee's puppy-hood makes Tatsu's seem like a walk in the park--at least, thus far.
I can't wait for you all to meet our new addition!
Happy training!
