It is never too early to begin any type of training with your Riptide PWD. I begin the Puppy Culture training as soon as they are able. I start training them to go outside to potty as soon as they are able to stand up. I do leash training with them and some crate training.
I participate in dog conformation events as well as performance with my dogs. I have a friend who is a handler that helps me out from time to time. In the images below she is getting little Ellie accustomed to the “stacking” behavior that is common in conformation. This is traditionally the posture, left side facing judge, that is used to determine the dog’s form as it conforms to the breed standard.
