Meet the newest baby in the Marram whanau

He’s called Flip and he’s pretty cute, isn’t he?

I tell you what, this little guy is impressive, with a routine of tricks you’d expect in a much older dog.

Flip, a Papillon Border Collie cross is only just 11 weeks old.

Mum Debbie Shute, Marram’s Product Manager, brought him into the office for the first time recently.

When asked the secret of her success in training Flip, Debbie says it’s toys, treats, and clickers, along with lots of positive reinforcement.

She says to use basic commands and socialize them with people and other dogs.

Nice to meet you Flip.

Not sure what Uncle Baxter will think when he returns to the office Thursday and finds you’ve been in his toy box though.
