Day 21

Not a ton to update. Stillhand feeding and shaping calmness. Alternating meals with target training. Still playing the sound cd. The only thing I have noticed is that Ruger doesn't try to stand and get out of his bowl as much as Apache did. I don't think it is a bad thing, and could very well be a product of me rewarding him for sitting calmly at feedings. It has been kind of nice actually. He just sits in his bowl and chills through pretty much everything. That will change shortly, but I'm enjoying the ease of this imprint while I can.

We have a litter of german wirehairs right now, so Ruger is also getting plenty of dog exposure. Can't wait to put him and the new pup together this fall.
