I like to take them individually in the car to the store and carry them around in a sling so they get used to being separated from their littermates and from Bille, and they also get exposed to the big wide world, from the safety of my sling. They have started taking treats and we are working on coming when called. This week we will do barrier challenges where they have to problem-solve to get to food and tre...
