The Puppy Diaries: Part 3

Great news in Puppy Diaries this week!

The Abramsons hired a trainer and have signed up Scout for puppy kindergarten – with a trainer that I am privileged to call a friend and colleague.

Diane Abbott is the real deal. She is a fantastic trainer with an absolutely wonderful manner with both people and dogs, which Jill Abramson more or less describes in the article. Diane and I attended ITCtogether and I was lucky enough to share Jack (pictured below) with her during the Level I course.

This week’s entry is fantastic, packed with great advice for biting, chewing, diet and barking. I especially like this quote: “Concentrate on what we want,” Diane urged. “Don’t give attention to what we don’t like.”

I’m really looking forward to next week’s entry!
