Drag the Check Cord.
The cord is clothing before it is a tool, the pup drags it through play until it is furniture.
Where it sits
Drag the Check Cord is drill 9 of 11 in the versatile puppy program. Seven weeks to six months: the window that never reopens.
Before it: 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.
After it: Baby Track
A hot-dog drag ten yards into grass, pup started at the mark. The NA track begins as a snack line.
