Toby is now 19 weeks old and getting big. Last week when we were at the vet he was 30 lbs and 20 inches tall. He is a goof ball and is constantly making me laugh, and constantly getting into puppy trouble (like counter surfing, and trying to chew everything cuz he's still teething).
We have been taking a petsmart puppy class and he is doing well. His list of commands is growing every day. They include: sit, leave it, an emergency recall to a whistle, and drop it. We are still working on down, come, loose leash walking, and wait. These are ones we have covered in class but he is still working on getting. We have 3 more weeks of this class.
Yesterday I got a call from the service dog school, and although they haven't gone through our application in detail, they don't see any reason we cant start soon. They like pups to be 6 months old before they start, but they were going to check with the trainer and see if we could start a little early (their next class starts May 6, and Toby will be 5 months old). If not, a month or so isn't that long to wait and it will give us time to keep working on his basics. Very excited/nervous.
