Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[Ziggy]

Charlie had his first walk outside today .

 

We're finally allowed out in the big wide world, and no longer confined to the back garden... It went really well, no chewing on the leash at all (which is amazing considering how he'd go at it when practising in the garden), and we went round two blocks, past other dogs, works and a busy road with traffic and buses, before getting home again...

 

He started by pulling madly when we got out of the front door, but that calmed down (with the help of a toy and some frankfurter bits) and we did a fair amount of the walk on a loose leash...

 

I totally enjoyed it . I thought he'd pull much more and I was ready not to be able to go past the next few houses from having to stop all the time for him to not pull, but we went quite a bit further and he seemed to be enjoying it...

 

He wasn't too interested or worried about other dogs, but he pulled whenever seeing other people... I think he believes the purpose of humans is to walk around with frankfurter bits in their pockets to feed to him .

Aww, so glad that it went well Ziggy

 

Will you take him to puppy classes now?

[hillfamily]

Aww bless...their first walk is such an important outing

 

I know what you mean about them loving every other person out walking...Sam just assumes that they all want to say hello to him

[The Dogmother]

Oh but everyone DOES want to say hello to him!

 

You'll never make any progress if you go down the road with a puppy; they're show-stoppers

not everyone

[Seagazer]

I'll hold my hands up, I can't resist a puppy out for a walk.

 

Glad it all went well, now the fun starts.
