Maverick 💙💙
Oh hey Maverick!! This cutie is black lab Bodie’s baby brother who has officially become a big boy and is able to join in groups. As with all puppies, we took it very easy to start with very small groups and encourages lots of sniffing and no running (yet!), lots of practice with lead work, sit & waits, taking treats nicely and more to get him settled into the CT&T Crew. Ofcourse absolutely zero jumping in and out of cars as we need to protect those growing joints. We have been practicing staying calm in the car and not playing by using toys as a distraction and reward while traveling as he is still not use to traveling with others without wanting to be excited and play. Although he is out for an hour walks with us, we encourage puppies to enjoy slow walks, sniffs, going toilet and practicing everyday skills over straight zoomies. Hopefully soon we can start with some recall work on a long line, then small burst of play time with the other pups. No rushing puppies.. everything must be taken slow and easy while they are growing to minimise injuries, future joint issues, and to learn core manners ready for the big world. 💙
And yes… who else is not surprised we have added another Labrador to the crew!! 😅😅
Looking forward to watching this lively little monkey grow up with his absolutely perfect big brother and makes lots of friends on his walks with CT&T 🐾🐾
