Meet Picasso Shakespeare! He has a confession to make.
He can’t catch treats.
You know all those videos of dogs failing to catch treats in the air? That’s Picasso! Underhand or overhand, it’ll take the stars being perfectly aligned for him to catch that yummy teat.
He’s a perfectly sized pup, very playful and curious. He can be zoom-zoom one moment and couch potato the next. He LOVES toys and chewing, so make sure you hide those yummy shoes from him! Picasso enjoys chew toys such as the Joyhound Rip Roarin’ Tough ones and Benebones.

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
