31 (Sunday): Meeting for all at 2:00 pm at SAAVI. The older puppies will work on dog-to-dog interaction, walking on loose leash with distractions and stay. Please walk your puppy in on a loose leash. Do not let your puppy pull you or charge in. If they start to pull, stop and use positive fixed pressure and get them under control. The pavement will most likely be hot so you might want to use booties. The babies will work on foot tethering with distractions and loose leash walking and walking in the gentle leader. Please carry your younger puppy in.
