We have decided to keep a male puppy for ourselves. He will be 12 weeks old soon, born on the Fourth of July. His name is Alastair Cotton.

Through the years, we have learned how to train a dog to be a significant member of the family. Let me share some YouTube videos that I found helpful. The link is below.

Mr. Cotton is a confident and a somewhat stubborn puppy. He hated his first bath. He doesn’t like to be on a leash. These are Pyrenees traits. Positive training, frequent grooming, and cuddling are required to create the bonding he needs to become a great dog.

He’s going to be big! So, when my wife takes him into the city, it is crucial that Mr. Cotton be obedient and helpful, rather than disobedient and problematic. I will be sharing videos of his progress along the way.
