Puppies and Dylan training!

This afternoon Dylan and I went to visit Lesley in Romsey and we had great fun. First off we photographed Beanies NINE puppies, who are all so cute. These pups will be half sisters to Fizzy and mum Beanie is doing a really great job with them. It was tricky to keep Dylan amused as he thought that he would like to play WITH the whelping box, however Beanie was very good and we let Dylan play at trying to get in the washing machine which kept him amused for ages.

Here's a picture of the puppies piled up together


Afterwards we went out to do some training, both Dot and Tig were really good and i have lots of things to work on this week. Dylan slept in his pushchair to start with but when he woke up he was bored and wanted out to play. Because he is used to us training at home he amuses himself generally by trying to climb the equipment, fortunately he hasn't worked out any of the big stuff yet! He occupied himself with the cavalletti jumps for a while and he worked out he could push them over and make them lower, so he could climb over them. This resulted in a great photo opportunity!

Training a send away 'Nedlo style!'








As you can see Dylan had a great time. This evening i let him stay up a bit later than normal and he had Chilli Con Carne for dinner with me and then played whist i watched some TV. He managed to walk the length of the 'playroom' from the gate to the patio doors and he was really pleased with himself. I will post some more video of him soon.
Thanks for reading!

Teaching him the proper footwork, very good.

And of course sendaways to begin the Nedlo Armchair Handling style! Very impressive.
