Puppy Classes Are Really Paying Off!
Rascal has been doing these for 4 weeks now - and how fab the learning in the "real outdoor world" is !
Haven't been able to take him to the park lately - far too wet and muddy and he is only 19 weeks old. Met at least 7 different dogs today - small, old, very large!, playful and most of them off lead - he is still on a 15m long line - sat, said hello and moved on nicely - then went to play! Also did some fab recalls ... he is a spaniel cross so walking nicely might be a challenge for a while - he wants to run and sniff and run and sniff.
Guess I just wanted to say that it is hard work, but when it all comes together and they look at you and wag that tail .. they do get to have a cuddle on the sofa ..
And for anyone that is debating about whether classes are for them - get the right one and it will pay dividends - not sure who looks forward to them more now - Rascal or us!
