Marley and Us - Part 18

Hi Everyone!

It's been a while since I had time to post something here.  I've been pretty busy lately but a lot of things have been going on with Marley.  He is now 18 weeks old and about 32 lbs.  He started his Senior Puppy Training last Wednesday with Kaye as his handler.  After the 6 week course, he will be evaluated for the AKC STAR Puppy program.  I hope he gets his medal.

He's the youngest puppy in his class.  He was not supposed to be in the Senior Puppy class but he already knows the basic commands and he will get bored with the other younger puppies so the trainers recommended that he joins the senior class.   Most of his classmates are very good with attention already, he's still struggling a little bit with that as he is still very young.  But other than that, he has been very good.

He hasn't had any accidents in the apartment lately so I guess that his housebreaking is already paying off.  We completely ignored the crate training as we feel sorry for him so he roams around the house and sleeps with us in our bedroom.  So far, he has proven to us that he can be trusted with that.

Anyway, he's also been spending time at the Cary Dog Park around 2 to 3 times a week.  He burns all his energy there.  As usual, he prefers to play with bigger dogs.  He likes roughing it up with them.  He thinks that he's already a big boy.

We will bring him to Pupsi tomorrow so he can see his regular playmates and socialize and play for the whole day.  He needs this to grow healthy and strong.
