well I know it's only day 1 and I should reserve judgement but OMG what an amazing boy this dog is!!
Last night it took him about 40 mins to settle and stop running up the stairs after you left lol. My friends and I then ordered pizza.
It came, he looked at us all 1 by 1, we all pointed to his bed and said 'bed' in a firm voice, he went and lay on his bed while we ate. Didn't bother us at all!
Last night I put his bed in the kitchen with a big bone and I left my bedroom door slightly open. He stuck his head round the door once, I said 'out' in a firm voice he left and this morning at 8 o clock I had to drag him out of bed lol!
Also last night we went on 2 walks, one with my friends and one just me and him. He does pull but nothing unmanageable and he was much better today after a good run around and some basic training.
So at 9am this morning we went down the farm. It was like doggy day care down there. All the kids of course are off school and everyone seemed to have their dogs down. We went into the bottom field which is all fenced and secure with a Labrador. The Labrador ran at him and Pluto hid behind my legs lol. They seemed fine so I let him off the lead, they ran round occasionally played but he was much more interested in sniffing about.
Another girl brought her 3 dogs, a lab, labradoodle and small poodle into the field too all bitches and the black lab is a dog. He gave them all a quick sniff then they all ran round together no problem at all!
Then I took him on a 2 hour walk around the cross country field and woods which is very hilly. Every single time I called him he came back even from far away. He kind of runs away from you like mad, get a few hundred yards away and then turns and checks your still there, If I turn around he runs like mad back to me to check I'm not leaving him lol.
After that we went back in the car (which he has been fine in) to my cousin's to meet her puppy, then we walked to the pet shop, went in the pet shop where he met other dogs and a rabbit and a little toddler (fine with all)
then to my Grandparents who love him, he lay down with a bone, then over to meet my step dad's spaniels lol all fine.
He's had a very busy day and is now lay on 'his' sofa snoring! (He's fab though he knows he's not allowed on the big white sofa so doesn't try but i have let him on the purple sofa which he loves)
In the car he was quite whiney this morning but then at the farm after his walk I put him in the car a few times drove to a different field, got out walked him, back in the car 2 mins to the next field out and walked him so he is starting to associate the car with good things.
He also loves to play fetch! He's brill at it and the kids had him jumping over the arena jumps today too lol which he enjoyed. He should sleep very very well tonight. I've wormed deloused and bathed him today and put some gentle cream on his bit red patch under his back legs not that I've seen him licking or chewing at all, he's not had time today and is now flat out asleep!
He is such a lovely dog and actually quite quiet and he loves his walks and ball! You can take bones, balls, food off him no prob no sign of any aggression at all he's just so friendly and lovely and listens a lot better than I thought he was going to. He's brill round the horses and kids too.
One of the little terriers at the farm today did have a go at him, no one was hurt it just growled and tried to bite him but was on a lead so it didn't get him, he didn't react at all he just ran to me lol. He's such a softy!
