Posting a puppy photo to celebrate him being 6 months old today! Time flies by so fast 🥹

I love puppy cuddles after a long day. Long day for both of us! He had to go to the eye doctor today and get his eyes checked. We learned he has a slight defect in his retina in both eyes, very minor, the doctor told me. Nothing yo be concerned about as it may just be in his family lines. So, we're starting a daily supplement to help his eyes from processing and potentially getting into progressive retinal atrophy.

We had to go to the dentist today, and Sjiriki came with on his first big(ish) PA trip! He did so good 🥹 Just as we were entering the building a big group of children came running out and some clustered around him which he got very excited by (he loves kids), but he calmed back down super quick and did a great loose leash heel through the building until we got to the dentist. In the waiting room he pretty immediately settled, and did great ignoring other people walking past. When I had to go in to the exam room he initially came along with my mom handling him, but struggled with having to be on the other side of the room from me, so my mom took him back to the waiting room where he got a snuffle mat to help him calm down. He was a little bit fussy there, wanting to wait near the door, but immediately went back to settling when I came back and then stayed chill all through waiting for the rest of my family to be done. Heeling out of the building was no problem either, he was happy to stick by my side and didn’t care for any distractions. I’ve really done very little formal training with him, only focusing on his being comfortable wherever we are and rewarding engagement when he gives it to me. I get insecure sometimes when I see other puppies his age with a whole repertoire of behaviors while he doesn’t even know sit, but today showed me that the foundational stuff we’ve worked on is in fact paying off, and that he has the potential to be a wonderful service dog 🩶

Those moments when your little man, Birger, refuses to leave the side of the tub while you shower. Mind you I was sitting, but my heart rate spiked and Birger refused to leave my side and refused to stop watching me. I got out got dressed and everything; his eyes were locked on me. He followed me into my bedroom where I promptly flopped on the bed; he then ran off to do his own thing. He amazes me more and more every day!

He’s just the prettiest dog 😍
We’ve been taking a break from training for a bit as he’s right in the middle of teething, which is making him feel not great and making it hard to turn his brain on. We’ve instead been focusing on lots of decompression, enrichment and rest!

Proud papa moment today! Birger nose booped me four time this morning while I was getting dressed. I then looked at my fitbit and my heart rate was spiking, I then sat down and he got in my lap. This is the first time he's done persistent alerting until I paid attention! Up until now it's always been one boop and if I didn't notice it he would just walk away. So this is very big news!

Spent this cold day by cuddling with my little man and doing training sporadically throughout the day. We focused on his recall with a whistle instead of words. He responds better to the whistle than he does the word come. We did some doggy push-ups, a level 3 puzzle, he had a frozen topple, went for a mile walk with my husband, and the good news is, he's not scared of my rollator! He won't go under it right now, but he knows how to stay out of the way, and he tends to follow me every time I walk with it. Also we worked some on his impulse control; he redirects with a few prompts but is getting better with his redirecting reaction time. So small victories, and learning more about my boy. The Fi 3 that I got him is working beautifully! It even has a score to tell you whether or not he's had enough sleep compared to exercise. Really helps me be more aware of what he needs for exercise and rest.
