Granddog is like that, too. Suckin’ down the water...and doesn’t close his damned mouth when he leaves. Gotta mop up every few hours.
With yer adventures in training, start using hand signals with Mollydog, and the pup will pick up on it quickly. I’ve used them with all my dogs be they mutts, or retrievers. I don’t have to say a word.
Molly does the same, I call it Drippylip.
Yeah, Savannah worships and beats up Molly all day long. She’s already doing good with hand signal “Sit”
The main problem is Puppy Short Attention Span Theater.
