so we are at puppy class, Moose ( he's now 5 1/2 months old ) is really enjoying himself and loves puppy class cause we clicker train with SNACKIES , is doing really well most times. Last night when we had to have them sit-down-sit-down-sit-down about 10 times, after the second time Moose was starting to get the picture... after the third sit-down Moose was getting annoyed and when I tried to get him to go from down to sit a fourth time , Moose had had enough ! Until I made up my mind as to what exactly it was that I wanted, he was not going to play anymore! So he plopped on his side and that was it for this exercise. ( of course the other pups were doing their best, happily going up-down-up-down )
Is this a Newf thing or is it just a Moose thing or an age thing ? It makes me laugh , I've noticed with more things that himself tends to contemplate before acting . Now if I compare him to Fwirly ( Husky/shepherd cross ) , she just does things when told. She's pretty much always done so, though of course when she was a pup her attention span was not that long. But it really seems that unless my commands make sense to Moose, this repeated silly stuff I can do myself, cause he isn't.
