Puppies have to learn about everything, including figuring out things. Even when dogs of the puppy and adult persuasion board and train with me, the first lesson we work on together is learning to learn.
Paying attention when learning is step one no matter what the topic or behavior is that the student is processing. And learning can happen with our without a human teacher. This learning all depends on the lesson.
As in the case below, a board-and-train puppy who I trained was actively learning about water. How to get to the water bowl for a drink when obstacles popped up, and how to avoid water when it was in the way of her progress on a walkie.
I love watching dogs figuring things out. And this little puppy has so much spunk and attitude. She is definitely going to be a fun and entertaining companion for her owner for a long time to come.
