^ That is quite impressive! Today was the first day Alamo has seen any snow. He was having a great time until he saw the trash can in the backyard. He went running for his mommy! We have also been working on his tricks and he is progressing nicely.
Enjoying the snow...

Nice looking Pup [Beer]
I will pass that along to him. Won't be long and I won't be able to call him pup. [Beer]
He is awesome!
Thanks! My next goal is to get him comfortable around guns. I have to break him in slowly but hopefully he does okay!Quote:

When I moved up to a 9mm, he wouldn't stay next to me - I think it was hurting his ears. When I fired my AR, he was laying down about 20 ft behind me. This still made him uncomfortable, but he didn't freak out or try to run away. Did I do it the "right way?"
I have no idea. I was also just going to start with a .22. My dog loves stuff like the lawn mower, weed eater, vacuum, etc. Whenever I use them he always stands in the way and barks. He clearly thinks it's a big game. I even did a burnout on my motard yesterday to see if he would freak out and he just looked at me for a second and then started dancing all around. Not sure how he will take guns though. Can anyone provide some solid answers for the "right" way to introduce him? Should I get him some puppy muffs or something to protect his hearing?
