Grown up doggie school!

What a morning I've had!   Mum said I've done so well at puppy school that she found me a place at grown up doggie school.   I've met sooooo many new human and canine friends.  All the humans are really well trained and carry dog treats nom nom nom.  Our teacher is Marie and she told mum off once 'cos I did something good and it made the clicker go off, but mum forgot that always means she has to give me a treat. Naughty mum!   We did loads of fun exercises, some were hard though.   We all have a special mat and our humans had to put treats on our mat and tell us to leave it, as if it was poisonous.   Then all of us had to take our humans for a walk to heel round all the mats and nobody was allowed to touch any treats.  When we got back to our own mat Mum had to check my treats  were safe then tell me it was ok to eat them.... phew, that was tough for me.

We've got homework.  I have to practise lying on a mat, doing sit-stays and also being quietly settled tied on a line while Mum walks away to have a chat with other humans.  The cleverest dogs in my group had to stay lying down on their mats while their humans disappeared to do something round the corner.  I was dead impressed.  Not sure  I can do that yet. 

Afterwards we let the humans all off lead to chat and we doggies had playtime.  Never had so much fun before.  There were one or two who told me firmly to mind my teenage manners so I did. And they played with me.

Do look at my pics and see if you can spot My favourite new friend Pippa in the top pic.... We really hit it off 😍.     

Can't wait for next week 😀.
