Today Briar went to the beach and a cheer competition for the first time. She was such a good girl. She walked around in the beginning and when we went to lunch she slept under the table the entire time. She got really tired half was threw the day so I put her in a sling and carried her around like a baby. She slept in the sling for at least an hour. It was so cute! We went and sat on the beach for 2 hours and she was so good the entire time, she slept a little, played a little, and Marley and I worked on her commands. She did so good. Then on the way home she slept in Marley's lap all the way home and Marley slept too. ;)
So.....Training two dogs at the same time. I am going to blog all the differences I see between Briar, a parti chocolate and white multigenerational standard female goldendoodle, and Coooper, a cream multigenerational medium male goldendoodle. So far I see a lot of differences. Their coats are completely different. Briar has curly more wiry hair. Cooper has soft, straight and fluffy hair. I like Cooper's better right now but we will see as it changes. Yesterday when I took a shower I made both dogs lay outside of the shower door. Briar came in and went to sleep immediately. Cooper cried and scratched at the door the entire time. I have noticed already that Cooper is very calm when he is with people but the minute you leave him alone he screams. Briar is a little bit more independent. She is very smart and learned to stay quite in the crate, and that when I leave the room for a second that I will be back. Cooper likes to eat everything he can get his little teeth on...he tries to eat and swallow items before you can take them away from him. Briar just likes to take large items to her bed.
