FINNIGAN (FINLEY)

I picked up “Finley” about 3 1/2 weeks ago and it has been interesting to say the least. I changed his name to “Finnigan” because it is not a common name for a dog, is still similar to what he was called before, and he seems to respond to it much better and quicker than before. Works very well when I catch him getting into puppy mischief, which is almost constant at times. But he is learning fast, knock on wood, that the living room carpet is not the pee spot. He is figuring it out that going outside frequently is the time to take care of business and not be taking a lot of time doing it. He has pretty much learned the routine that my other dog was in, as the other one has adapted to Finnigan being around. At least the fighting over food at chow time has ended and I’ve learned to put the dogs out right after that time if I don’t feel like cleaning up any messes. Give him some more time to learn better behavior and grow out of some of his puppy energy and he’ll be an excellent pooch.
