Mary, when I said 'squatty', I mean he's still showing a nice short loin and it gives him a little bit of a squatty appearance. He certainly has plenty of leg...I hope not too much. And I love his gold, too.
I have tried working with him just a little. He's such a squirmbucket. It's hard to just comb him and do a little trimming. He's even less cooperative with stacking. I think he needs more of an outlet for his energy and then he would settle down a little more. Though he's not vaccinated, I trust my yard and may start taking him out for a little spurt.
Up til now, I've just been wanting to get that bond with him. That has been a resounding success. Now it is time to put that trust to work and start getting him to cooperate a little.
Mary, at what age should I try putting him on a lead? Is now too soon? |
I start introducing them to a lead, at about 10 weeks. But, only putting it around their neck while on the grooming table. I begin real lead training at about 16 weeks of age.....but, at a fun level....letting them lead me around......within a few days we begin to work with a squeeky toy or bait to get them to follow me.....Just keep it fun. Oh! when you begin the bait training, only do it with the lead on.......it's more getting them use to the feel of it first. Oh! do a lot of clicker training too.
Not sure if you to your own vaccinations, but if your vet does them....Make sure that he isn't put on a table to vaccinate him. You want him to have no negative experiences on a table.
