14 weeks old!

Wow, Tug is 14 weeks old!  Time is going by so quickly :)  The major thing we have been working on are Zen behaviors - waiting calmly to be released out of a crate/x-pen, out the back door (this does not work if I know that he has not been out for awhile), and to eat.  We've been playing shaping games with a box, which he seems to be quickly picking up on.  He will put two feet on top of the box, nose the box and hang a front foot over the box.  I think the box may be a little too tall for him to get into so I need to find one with shorter sides.  Sit and down are fairly reliable now and we have started working on wave.  Leave it is coming along nicely.  Stand is still a work in progress.  We have been working on loose leash walking inside the house and today we tried it outside for the first time.  Tug did pretty well.  There were times he'd forget and try to pull, then he'd remember "Mom has cookies!!" and come back to were he supposed to be, lol. 

Potty training is almost there.  He knows to run to the back door when he needs out and once we see that we follow :)   There have unfortunately been a couple days this week where both my husband and I had to work longer than planned and Tug did really well in the x-pen.  We were very proud of him!
