Champ Proves To Be So Smart

The first thing to do upon taking Champ home was to take him to the vet to receive his shots . When a puppy receives their shots , it helps them not to catch puppy diseases . When we arrived home , Champ ran through the house as thou he had been living there all of his life . The big deal was to see how Bullet would respond to the new houseguest . Bullet was let into the house and Champ ran up to him with his tail up in the air as if he challenged Bullet . Bullet instantly liked Champ and used his paw to smack him around . Next , I had to select an area to paper train Champ to go to . Champ used the bathroom on the carpet , and I picked him up and let him smell what he did , then took him to the paper where I had dropped some blue house breaking drops . The next time Champ went to the bathroom it was on the paper . Man , this puppy is smart . As time moved on I taught Champ to sit , lay , come , stay , give his paw , and the other paw . I had friends stomp at him and then run while I say , “ Watch him boy .” Champ began to bark at the agitators which meant he got it . Next , I taught Champ to jump over a milk crate . Later he could jump over two milk crates . Weeks later , I put a chair up to the fence to encourage Champ to jump over it . It only took minutes before Champ would jump onto the chair and over the fence . Later I encouraged Champ to climb over the fence . Champ took to climbing like he was a cat . Climbing to the top and balancing himself , then jumping off . I also taught Champ to crawl by calling him to me , and telling him to lie down at the same time . He began to crawl like an army dog , waiting on the command to come .
The time had come for everyone in the neighborhood to show off how smart his or her puppy was . There were six puppies in total and Champ outshined every puppy proving how smart he was . Champ responded perfectly to every command . Champ was not the oldest puppy nor the biggest but , he held his own when we allowed all the puppies to play with one another . Most of the puppies tried to bully Champ but he would push them back each time , man he is smart .
I learned that putting time into a puppy they would do what you want 11
