Place Board Games.
The board is where treats happen. Two paws, then four, then a beat of stillness. Sit-means-sit comes later; love-the-board comes now.
Where it sits
Place Board Games is drill 8 of 11 in the retriever puppy program. Seven weeks to six months: the window that never reopens.
Before it: Water As Play
Warm shallow water; wade in yourself and let the pup follow. Never throw a pup in, one bad entry writes deep.
After it: Drag the Check Cord
The cord is clothing before it is a tool, the pup drags it through play until it is furniture.
Run it with your dog.
