Yes, I really want to teach those first. He’s not very good at holding still and paying attention yet, though. I’m hoping his attention span might increase, or his energy level might decrease a little, after he’s neutered, but my plans for that are on hold right now. Initially, the vet wanted to wait until he’s eight months old, both because she hoped he might be closer to six pounds and also because she wants to pull any retained baby teeth at the same time rather than do two surgeries. Now we’re under a stay at home order though, and the vet isn’t doing elective surgeries until it’s lifted. So it’s not scheduled yet, although I hope it won’t be too far past eight months.
