Gen Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) Yesterday at puppy school they brought in an Irish Wolfhound..oh flip they are huge.. but what a gentle giant.. Enzo is a little better at the obstacle course.. but is supposed to climb onto the elevated sniff pad just before the tunnel... he now jumps right over it .. that tunnel is far too much fun[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Edited October 13, 2019 by Gen HdB 1
Fruity Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 Got this little one on Saturday.Tigs only visits us these days when he wants food, and the Mrs wanted another cat. EvanB, Wannabe, HdB and 3 others 6
Gen Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) As per gran's instructions tracking has started.. We have been very lazy getting going and should've started weeks ago, there has just been so much to learn but now that he has started teething tug play stops till teething is done, so now we can focus a bit on tracking. When pup is hungry..Put stake in ground stomp out 600mm2 scatter food (he must not see the process)..lead him to area dont say a word and let him sniff and find kibble.[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]..increase area in time. Yes supposed to go out to a field that has NOT been contaminated by other dogs....so the front garden will do.. has a nice open patch too.[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] We will get to a field at some point Edited October 14, 2019 by Gen Vetseun, HdB and Wannabe 3
Gen Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 No wonder I'm feeling stressed at the moment........better get a lab soon for my health. I am struggling to find the right puppy with a working background. The current batch were booked before they were born. The family is giving me flak for taking so long. They are making jokes about how "scarce" Labbies are! Holding thumbs.Lol Always best to rather wait for the right pup.

raptor Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Lazy day for these 2 Edited October 15, 2019 by raptor Gen, HdB, barrykm and 2 others 5
BSG Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Lazy day for these 2Makes me think of my mom who have 2 Labradors, since my father passed away earlier this year, the younger one decided to take up my dad's place on the bed when they go to sleep. He sleeps back to back with my mom on the bed and the older one sleeps on the floor next on her side of the bed. She has to step carefully over him when she wakes up. They now guard her like trained guard dogs.When my mom raise her voice with the younger one the older one starts barking at him as if he is angry and giving him a piece of his mind.

Gen Posted October 17, 2019 Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) Humans.. I am pooped I played, cooled off in the pool, I napped..I repeated that..I went to visit the nursery school again..showed them how clever I am... I didn't fuss when the little hands rubbed me. I gave my favourite toy to my human without wanting to swap it for another toy.... I played ball..I waited for the command to bring (fetch) before I fetched the ball and took it straight back to my human..I learnt how to go onto the touch pad (bowl turned upside down)..and even turned while on the touch pad... and I had to leave the cats alone over and over again. My human kept on telling me that I am such a clever, good boy and I had so much fun again today... Edited October 17, 2019 by Gen Dusty, raptor, Baldrick and 8 others 11
SwissVan Posted October 18, 2019 Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) there are a few dogs where I go for treatment where there are working dogs.Therapy dogs. They are there to make the hoomans feel better, and just to bring a bit of cheer to the hoomans there.Not all dogs are cut out for therapy dogs.My folks have two pups.One is a crazy bitch that can’t do anything slow. And then Max, the calmest little fur ball (till the lazer comes out). Patient and a hug monster, where Abby will never do.Pictures please This is a therapy thread????
