Its been a busy  and exciting week here at tonytiges towers, so time for an update. s

Classes            &nb sp;   
Bliss experienced her first training class last wednesday. The class went really well. She was the only staffi in her class and was not one of the youongest either. There were six other dogs, all female and Bliss was very excited when we first went in and met her other K9 pals.
She settled quickly and obediantly sat down whilst the trainer gained a good background on routine, food etc...
I must say that everything the women said about diet routine etc... backed up advice the forum has given me... so we looked like we knew what we were doing ;-)

The class itself began with clicker training and we worked on sit and liedown... and some jumping up work which Bliss desperatly needs to work on as she is terribly nosey.
There was one problem and that was cheese. We came with her fave treats, but after the women had given her some cheese Bliss only wanted cheese and was not interested in our treats.... LOL
Lots of things to work on ... and five more classes to go......

Meeting the rest of the family
We went to a christening of my four month old neice at the weekend in Ludlow, Shropshire. It was a chance for the rest of the family to meet Bliss for the first time. We hired a nice cottage in the countryside with my other Brother and his family. Bliss had not met my Brother before but she just tok it in her stride (as usual).


Poor Bliss had a little bit of an upset tummy most of the weekend but loved the long walks, everything was new to her... theviews, the smells and the sounds.

 

We had to keep her on her 5m extender as she is not very good at recall at the moment and we were frightened she would run off. She stared at the free range chickens and the sheep and cows and enjoyed looking into the pond water.... probably at the staff looking back at her (she is hilariouse in front of a mirror).

Bliss did get a little too close to a free range chicken that had escaped its pen... but with the extender she was soon hauled in.
Bliss also met my Brothers young five yr old boy Max. She loved just running after him and playing tug.

Bliss is an excellent traveler. She sat in the back of the car with her harness on and just lied down and took the chance to catch up on some much needed sleep..... whilst gassing Lee and I... LOL
