Unfortunately we all got woken up last night at 4am by Fionn wanting to go in the garden So Bear woke up and started crying. After I sat with him and encouraged him back into bed he did go back to sleep.
His house training is coming along nicely. He toilets in the garden more often than the house now, but always on the puppy pads if in the house. He has a collar on for most of the day now and it comes off in the evening. Apart from a bit of itching he's fine with it on.
Today we did some touch training, meaning we practiced getting him used to being handled on different sensitive areas of his body, like his ears, belly, tail, paws and mouth. After being a bit confused first as to why I was massaging his belly and lifting his gums etc he soon sat calmly as he got lots of praise and treats for being such a good boy. We even had a go with a dog brush (although I doubt he'll ever need to be brushed!) and he just wanted to chew it but didn't mind it on his back at all. We'll keep doing little sessions like this while he's here.
He's also learnt how to give his paw. Not particularly useful but it keeps his mind busy! He's still good at waiting for his food bowl to be put down and to be let out of his pen. So we'll have to think of some more things to learn! Maybe we'll try some lead walking or something. He has worked out how to get upstairs (something Darcy still hasn't managed!), so he has to be deterred from doing so as that's where the Beast lives!
If you're at home all day and have the time and patience to commit to a puppy, please apply! You're missing some of the best weeks with him. His brain is like a sponge right now and he's so easy to train. It's a great time to build a bond and put in important training and socialisation, which will make him a balanced, well behaved adult.
He's so sweet, clever and confident - a perfect pup!

I fell in love with Bear the second I saw him! ❤ I've been working on the husband to stray away from whippets and he's finally agreed! We would love to give Bear a home....fingers crossed. Xxx

Some of the cutest photos i have ever seen! He is absolutely adorable and Darcy is beautiful. Wonderful to see him enjoying his puppyhood, what a lucky boy to only know love and kindness.
