Now just to figure out what to do with the other dog! I'm sure the golden will be more upset about being separated than the lab mix. We prepared the dogs for this by the dogs getting separate walks, time with food toys, and other interesting things happening when apart.
I'll miss the adorable springing up, he can jump all four feet off the ground, at least 2' off the ground! I hadn't been discouraging it (it was sooo cute), but I also didn't encourage that behavior.
What did the dogs learn with me? Not a lot. We practiced recalls in the yard. We learned about petting and brushing. We started to learn about stairs. We learned about food toys. We learned about walking on a leash. Not as much as my board and train dogs were able to learn about, I didn't want to take these guys out in public or let them interact with family due to not knowing about their health history.
Five dogs is just too many. One is my favorite number.
