On Solo's 8 week birthday we celebrated by taking him to the big park in Alamogordo and beginning 'training.' Everything we do is designed to have him believe 'training' is fun..so lots of reward, lots of food, lots of praise.
Here is a little video clip of starting 'touch pads.' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKszz5L0xMw
Solo takes walks with us in the desert mountains, keeping up with his mama and whomever else has accompanied us. Our walks are generally about 2 miles long.
