Brushing Teeth and Cheating at Puzzles


So much has been happening it's hard to keep up!

We started brushing Scout's teeth and he's taking it like a champ!  It's a small victory since we're still struggling with baths and nail clipping.  Right now we're brushing about every 2-3 days. Keep up the good work, Scout!



Moving on


One of the more interesting facts I learned during puppy class was that dogs expel a lot of energy through smelling, not necessarily running. This is because when they are sniffing around 80-90% of their brain is in use.  So smelling should be an important part of their walks and play time.  We got Scout this sniffing puzzle.  Ideally, the dog is suppose to sniff to find out which pocket the treat is under and try to open the flap.  Unfortunately, Scout found a flaw in they system.
