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 retriever 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.
Run it with your dog.
Open the KENAI app, log a training session, pick Name Game. The record keeps the day; the app reads the days against the test ahead. Free to start.
