Congrats on the cutest little fur ball. We are on week 5 with our new lab. Here are a few things we found out:
The bitter apple doesn't smell after it dries and doesn't smell bad before hand. My little ball of "pee, poop, eat, chew and sleep" had his first and second boat ride this weekend.
He liked Hadley's Harbor on Saturday. He wanted to thank everyone in Oak Bluff's for coming to see him (obviously that was the only reason they were there) on Sunday. The ride back across the Sound on Sunday (wind speed 19, gust to 27 knots) was not his favorite part of the day.
Crate training really helps you sleep through the night....
Congrats on your fur ball as well.. she's a cutie.
Cabo had her first Marina experience today... She still hasn't gone for a ride yet but was very comfortable in the cockpit at the dock.. always a good thing! She also saw her first BFT we had lying on the dock She didn't know what to think of it, pretty hilarious sight.
The chewing hasn't been too bad yet but i'll def give the bitter apple a try.. I don't know what I would do without the crate, it's a lifesaver!
I have family in Falmouth of Maravista Ave... I'll be down that way a handful of times throughout the summer.. Come say hi if you see if roaming the heights.
Grannick's Bitter Apple has saved me a ton of woodwork and if you let your pup pick up a shoe with some of it sprayed on, you may not have to worry about that. It doesn't have any odor to us and other than being distasteful, it won't harm your pup. Great training tool.
