Graduation:
Yesterday Fred graduated and has a certificate to prove things! Completion of an eight-week puppy training course. This is actually the second puppy training course Fred has completed the other a six week course. So, I think Fred is good at being a puppy!
We have enjoyed the antics on the course and towards the end ‘agility’ was introduced and Fred was very good at that; running through tunnels, and in and out and in and out of sticks, sit on the box and jump over the pole, you know the stuff!
Advanced dog training could continue on a turn up and pay as opposed to signing onto a programme. We are seriously considering whether to take this on! Sitting here writing this, perhaps there is an element of competitive owners wanting to do this and Fred could actually take it or leave it ……….. on the other hand, its fun and what’s to lose.
Fred is very free spirited and perhaps at times wilful, and the more knowledge I have about him, the more he trusts me and engages with me the better I think. I want to be able to say I can trust Fred in outside situations, rather than him be the cause of anxiety.
