arhh, how old is she now, and does she know any simple commands. Also she is so adorable.

[GrowingUpGuidePup]

@snuffles8989 She is 16 weeks old now and she is learning a lot of the basic commands. Stay tuned, this should be the topic of our next episode :)

Also for the stairs start to feed her by them like put her at the top then put her bowl a few steps down and let her go for it!

[GrowingUpGuidePup]

@HannahBanana559 I love this idea :)

For the problem with the rain I know its a pain what is helpful is to make it fun. Bring the other dogs out too, go on a distracting walk in the rain or even outdoor mall, and play with her in the rain it will be horrible but will help a lot!

[GrowingUpGuidePup]

@HannahBanana559 Goos suggestion Hannah, the only problem is that she doesn't have all her vaccines yet. We will be able to do the outdoor mall after next week.

Pilaf will keep improving one STEP at a time... haha!

[mattmovies101]

She looks so excited after going down one step haha

Thanks for answering my question. I am a big fan and have admired you for a long time. I check my laptop every evening and morning and evening to see if there is a new episode, and when there is, it's always great.

Thanks

It's interesting to see the different personalities of puppies. Dublin was afraid to come down the steps as a puppy too.

Pilaf is a very cute puppy...;-) Great Job!

@greeenpro2009 Yeeessssss!!!!

[greeenpro2009]

Pilaf for President!!

I don't like peeing in the rain either :)

[fuzzypeachmonkey]

Pilaf is really cute. Is there any traits they consider too difficult to train out or an automatic disqualification. I know all dogs can improve with diligent training, it just seems like most dogs do not end up being guide dogs, so if there are certain traits that are unlikely to completely change with training, wouldn't it make more sense to focus on starting with the right personality so that there is a higher success ratio. That being said I'm sure Pilaf will do great.

That's funny that a Labrador doesn't care for the rain. She'll come around.
