1st puppy social

Mollie attended her first puppy social today at Klub K9. She did great and made some new friends! It was so fun to watch! I was reminded by her vet how important it was to be exposed to other dogs at this age, so we'll try to attend often.

We also reached a housebreaking milestone today! She's been accident-free for 2 weeks using umbilical cord training. Routine and vigilance pays off. This means now we can begin giving her off-leash free time around the house... carefully and methodically. I'm such a potty training nazi.

She also learned "Shake" (shake hands). Still working on curbing the jumping up and nipping habits. Been debating whether or not to take her to puppy classes -- since everything they teach I'm already teaching her myself. Perhaps I'll just do proper obedience training when she's older. Nonetheless, good progress at 12 weeks!
