Passed!!

Yay, Barnaby is offically qualified.

 

Dog training

Barnaby and Laura are attending doggy school. The classes we go to are part of the Good Citizen Dog Scheme .
They are currently doing the Bronze level (PDF) at Laleham Dog Training Club.
Barnaby isn't doing too badly, considering how rubbish his human is at remembering it all.  When we had to walk to heel all round the hall then go through a gate, all with no voice commands AND off lead, he was perfect. Maybe he should just do the exam himself, without Laura.

The mock exam was last Monday and Barnaby was brilliant. The real thing is this coming Monday. Cross your fingers and paws!

All healed up

After what seemed like an age, Barnaby's wound finally healed and we ditched the horrible cone.


The first time he was allowed off lead at the dog park he bounced about like Tigger on a summer day.

He's been back to being a lock keeper though, even though the rain was more suited to the ducks than dogs or people.

He still seems to think he's a lap dog, despite weighing in at around 35kg. He loves to sit on Laura's lap and be cuddled!






Ain't he handsome though?
