Really, You Aren't Missing Anything

Training Tuesday

I'm picking up my third puppy this week. I will have three under the age of 6 months.

I find myself getting overwhelmed at the though of all the knowledge I need to train into those growing young brains. It's easy to escape into other things such as Facebook, watching other people's dog training videos, or Angry Birds.

It is also easy to compare these puppies to the puppies I had before. You know, when I only had one puppy to train.

My goal is to train some solid detection dogs. Whether the come out swinging at 6 months or 12 months, it really doesn't matter. I need to stay focused on giving them a strong foundation, environmental soundness, and play. The rest will work itself out.

I also have to remember the gaming industry and social media industry are some of the biggest employers of behavior scientists...trying to figure out how to get us to stay longer on their platforms.

I will stay focused on my goals of training some young puppy minds. I am not missing out on anything that can't be addressed later when I have tired dogs snoozing in crates.

What goal are you focusing on this week?
