10 Days with Puppies...

Today is day 10. The pups are doing excellent. We are just about housebroke. We have them on a schedule. When we get up in the morning (at some ungodly hour) the pups go out. We bring them back in and feed them. Wait about 30 minutes and out we go again. After a bit of playing around, the pups settle down and sleep for about 3 hours. The pups wake up and out they go to pee again. They come in, get drinks and play for about 3 hours. Then we go out again. They come in and go to sleep for another 3-4 hours. At about 4 pm we get dinner after of course we have gone out. Then we go out again. then they play and get one on one in some obedience. Sit, stay, come, down, and a basic retrieve. We are doing well. Then they come in and settle for about 2 hours. We wake them and make them go out at about 9:30, and they go out again at 10:45. Then we all settle for the night and start the whole process again.

Chelsea is still the leader and seems to be part disciplinarian. Abby is submissive and is easier to housebreak. Abby will push her nose out the screen door to go out. Well, I have things to do and pups to housebreak.
