Endless Pawsibilities is a dog training service run by the amazing Mel. She does (did before lockdown) group classes, which allow the socialisation of dogs as well as their humans being put through their paces as they learn how to get the best out of their pooches; and she does 1:1 lessons - and it is these that we have gone for. We have had two hours of training so far, and it has been really useful. The first session we looked at Sit and Come - I'd say Come is about 75% there, whereas Sit is a bit more hit and miss. She will sit for us when at home or in the garden, provided there is nothing more exciting there!
Today I had both girls with me and we talked about how to react when our puppy nips us, and tries to explore our hands and feet with her mouth. We also looked again at desensitising her to her harness and collar, and also the car. This is much harder as she is fearful. Though she is happy enough when out walking, she would rather not be anywhere near them at any other time.I'm hoping in the next two weeks we can make progress with our pup before we see Mel again.
Fetch Groom is local dog grooming service run by Aggy and her team. She offers a myriad of different services for your dogs, from a basic trim, to something more extravagant. We went for the Puppy's First Groom and were not disappointed. Our dog was very relaxed and comfortable, and came back looking cute and young again. We'll be very happy to go back again in six weeks time.
