We started out using the Puppy Culture protocols and workbooks to socialize and train the puppies. I feel like I just barely touched the amount of training that the book recommends. But these puppies are so well mannered and socialized. They are &#8220;manding&#8221; politely, they share their toys without aggression, and they are pretty good at taking new experiences on without too much hesitation. I have had so many mentors helping me through this, I just can&#8217;t thank them all enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"618\" src=\"https:\/\/islandboundsheepdog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/USER_SCOPED_TEMP_DATA_MSGR_PHOTO_FOR_UPLOAD_1564690955250-1024x618.jpeg\" alt=\"Old English Sheepdog puppy lying under a gray wicker chair on a deck, looking at the camera\" data-id=\"533\" data-link=\"https:\/\/islandboundsheepdog.com\/?attachment_id=533\" class=\"wp-image-533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/islandboundsheepdog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/USER_SCOPED_TEMP_DATA_MSGR_PHOTO_FOR_UPLOAD_1564690955250-1024x618.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/islandboundsheepdog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/USER_SCOPED_TEMP_DATA_MSGR_PHOTO_FOR_UPLOAD_1564690955250-300x181.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/islandboundsheepdog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/USER_SCOPED_TEMP_DATA_MSGR_PHOTO_FOR_UPLOAD_1564690955250-768x464.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/islandboundsheepdog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/USER_SCOPED_TEMP_DATA_MSGR_PHOTO_FOR_UPLOAD_1564690955250.jpeg 1193w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wow how time has flown by.
