It's been five days

Griffin is such a good puppy!  Sunday night he slept from 10 pm-3 am and then woke up at about 5:30 and then for good around 8.  On Monday it was 10 pm-5 am and he went back to sleep til 8! Last night, Tuesday, he slept from about 10 pm- 11 pm and then1 am- 7 am.  He's learning "come" and "sit".  He's scared of dogs barking outside, lawmowers, cars passing, the vacuum cleaning, the shower running, and the washing machine running.  He's scared of people he doesn't know. It's cute the way he sits there and cries. But he warms up quickly. In the past few days he met a lot of new people.

We're going by some of the things in the "Before and After Puppy" book. And we are watching some youtube videos for training ideas.

Sometimes he goes a little crazy and starts biting everyone and everything. We aren't quite sure what to do with him when he does this. We make the noise we've chosen to tell him that we mean no, but it doesn't work. We try to distract him and give him his chew toys.  We'll just keep working on this.

He sleeps a lot during the day. Way more than I thought he would!

It's been a lot of work, but easier than I thought it would be. Let's hope we raise a good dog!
