Trigger, the Reveal!

This little boy is really starting to show his personality. He's fearless but very gentle with his play-biting. I think he is developing wonderful bite inhibition. We play lots of "wrestling the Evil Hand games" and he is getting more skilled at applying just the right amount of pressure. Gladys is really helping train this also. One of the biggest thrills in her life is placing either her head or one of her limbs into the gaping jaws of another dog. Trigger is ever so careful when her leg is in his mouth. He bites, but no so hard that she has to discipline him. She particularly enjoys this game with her buddy Walnut, who is several times her size. We've dubbed her the Hygienist because she puts her head in Walnut's mouth and licks his molars. I think she is going to be thrilled when she figures out that Trigger will be considerably larger than she is, and that her head should fit nicely between his jaws.
Gladys is starting to play more with Trigger. At first, it was all about body blocking him from being near me. Tonight they wrestled on my lap and she was more interested in interacting with him than in whether or not he was touching me.
Today's tasks:
worked on bite inhibition
reinforced eye contact
reinforced pottying in the designated areas at the edge of the yard
worked recalls
tugging games
hand targets
walking on funny, shifting surfaces
Kong games
quiet crate/x-pen time
And of course cuddling and baby talk!
Tomorrow's tasks:
All of the above plus a field trip to meet more people. Maybe Stanford Shopping Center if I'm feeling ambitious. Otherwise, we'll go to OSH.
