That is a lot of puppy to work on! It sounds like you are going through the process in a thoughtful and smart way. I learned via youtube when covid broke out. Darn videos never mentioned treats. Would have improved those sessions for all involved. (Also Mark has not seen a barber since then.) :)

It was a lot of fun, Mary Jane. Thank you for the treat recipe link. I have everything on hand. I'll make a half batch and see what he thinks. 🐾🐾Oh wait! Mr B says to make the full recipe so he can give it a thorough testing. 🤣

Substack won't let me "like" posts, so this is my "like"! *grin*

Mel, today I found that I cannot “like” when I use the Firefox browser. I switched to another, Chrome I think, and I was able to “like.”

I am on Chrome, but an ancient version. Since I'm still in the backwoods of Windows 7, I can't upgrade Chrome. I forgot about that. That's probably why I can't "like". Odd that it let's me "like" your original comment from email. I can always do that one.
