The "boy" as usual!

As usual I am talking about my boy!

Things are changing.

Last week Chris suggested we go to the local obedience club and see if they would be interested in helping me with his socialisation.

He loves dogs, but because I can't take him to the park and let him run free, he has no idea that some grumpy dogs do not love big silly puppies!!

with goofy faces!!!

So Chris, Helen and I went to

"Bayside Companion Dog School"on a wet, freezing, Thursday morning.

As usual I was nervous about what the boy would do, 

how he would react to three "Rottis", two German Shepards and a Ridgeback, or even more important, how they would react to him.

I need not have worried everything went well

and we were invited to join.

While we were there we tried another collar - a"Gentle Leader",

I think we might have found the right one at last,

I am not sure that Middi likes it much,

but I certainly do! Now I have control without any strain.

We are going to stay in the beginners group, 

even though we can do most of the commands,

reason -- because Midnight needs to learn how to behave around all sorts of dogs.

I need to learn not to say , "walk on big bum",[because he is skinny]

It is not a proper command !  :--)

We are off to school again this Thursday, I hope it is as good as last week.

Maybe we might get some pictures this time.

Until next time --- tell someone how much you love them!!
