Today I update on what G is doing in the upland and retrieving work.  What follows is a discussion about the fundamental philosophy behind raising a puppy.  People have many ideas based on personal beliefs.  I challenge everyone to really dive into the psychology of their dog and how to think about the daily work and interactions with the pup.  So much is going on in the little puppy heads, and we often treat them like toys.  They are living individuals who deserve to be understood and respected, not spoiled.
