Name Game.

Say the name once, party when the pup comes. The name means good things, never call a pup in to correct it.

Where it sits

Name Game is drill 2 of 11 in the flusher puppy program. Seven weeks to six months: the window that never reopens.

Before it: Socialization Walks

Seven to sixteen weeks is the window that never reopens. New ground every day, gravel, timber, tall grass, tailgates, town. Let the pup set the pace.

After it: Hallway Retrieves

Two or three tosses down a hallway with no exits; quit while the pup still wants one more. Trade for a treat, never rip the bumper away. Desire now, polish later.
