The past couple of weeks have flown by, and my tiny tot Toka weighs in at 50 lbs at 20 weeks of age.

He’s a funny little guy.  Bright, alert, curious.  He’s also beginning to push boundaries, and check to see what he can get away with.  Not much!

We’ve been working on fold back downs with varying degrees of success.

Here he is on 8/11:

And again on 8/16.  We’re working on targeting (paw whack of pot holder), pivoting on his disk (overturned feed bucket, which he tends to like to chew), tuck sits, and more fold back downs in this video.

More of the same here, on the 22nd.

We added kick-back stands in puppy class this past Wednesday:

He’s making progress!  Good dog, Toka.
