10 Weeks Old - Kongs

We have found at times that Charlie gets over excited or bored or, well anything that ends up with him getting annoying. Its not that he is annoying us on purpose it's just he gets tired/bored and needs something to help with a time out.

Often this is fixed with a bone to chew on or putting him in his create to have a sleep. Sometimes a bit of treat training can also help keep him occupied. But its not always practical and you need something a little different to use. This is where Kongs come in.

We have two Kongs now - a regular size red Kong that you can put Kong treats into. These biscuits fit tightly in one end and means that Charlie has to work at getting it out. However Cathy this week introduced Peanut Butter!

Charlie finds peanut butter very yum and will sit very focused on licking it off your fingers. So in a small puppy (blue) Kong we put a dollop of peanut butter and then placed it in the freezer for a few hours. This when given to Charlie is a great toy to jump & attack before sitting down and getting himself covered in peanut butter.

Regarding house training, we are still doing well even if it means still keeping a visual on him. We also went to Puppy Play School this past week and have another visit this week. More on that in the next blog post!
