Puppy passed her indoor obedience/socialisation class. Feeling quite smug because all the others agreed that my
Gracie was top of the class. She's very obedient anyway and has had sit, lie, paw, fetch, drop it, speak, wait and stay
all pretty much learned with what Ive been doing with her at home. Timidity was her problem, she was fearful of other people
and other dogs She went from having to be carried in there on the first time we went because the other dogs were barking.
To her nearly pulling my arm out when she saw all her doggy mates in there this week on our last session.

She still has another 5 sessions to go at her outdoor obedience course. We did a basic obstacle course this
week with a slalom, a few different floor surfaces to walk on, a gateway to go through and a couple of little
jumps. I'll see if the wife will take a few pics of us when we're at this Saturday mornings session. The guy is an ex
police dog trainer, so we're expected to work the pups quite hard really considering their age/stage. What's
hardest is keeping their attention on you while you instruct them, especially when there's 10 other dogs around
in close proximity. I've never really put any proper effort into training a dog before, I'm finding it surprisingly rewarding.

Taking one's pooch to obedience classes makes loads of difference to your relationship. A dog that will walk to heel off the lead, sit, stay when asked and you know will come back when you call is an easy dog to own. I don't understand how people own dogs that won't do these simple things, as it is all about safety. A mutt that is out of control is a liability....

Last stages of a cold all that snot you can swallow is rather filling.

[thx1138]

my dog walks to heel, I never trained it, it just does - unless..... squirrels.

Finished dog training level 1. Starting level 2 next week.

Since dog training, we have learned down, stay, shake paws, come when called. It could already do sit when we got it.

Come when called often doesn't work, wheras the naughty dogs charge off, mine just sort of sits there.

Seriously, I thought this rescue dog was a bit dense when I got it, but dog training has made such a difference.

Oh and had a photo session today

I went to an auction of erotica at Sothebys today (yes, it was v. interesting).

I went round the block twice before I realised I could park* in a tiny little space almost right outside the door (in Westminster) with a tiny gap either side. A very nice chap with a charming jawline was parked in a Range Rover behind me, and asked me if I could move forward a bit so that he could get out, so I hummmmmed and haaaaaa'ed and then agreed to inch forward and let him have four extra inches (oooh matron!) - my bumper was only millimetres away from touching the street sign in front of the Boris bikes stand

When I went to pay by phone, my shitbox phone battery died and I was running late for the auction as well, so I didn't get round to it.

When I got back (2 1/2 hours later) yer man was still there, he quite clearly hadn't moved

... and I didn't have a ticket on me windscreen
A good reason to chat up the bloke again, thinks I, even though he was about a third of my age. So I asked him whether anyone had put a ticket on it, perhaps it had blown away or been taken off by vandals? Apparently not. He was dead impressed that I hadn't paid and not got a ticket for my lack of effort. Although I suspect I may get one in the post, no doubt there were cameras



*a Prius ...
So I know Prius's are the most hated vehicles out there, due to them being AddisonLeemobiles, but in fact they have a surprisingly snub front profile, and are very easy to park, I almost never hit anything.

The unusual feeling of being warm post ride and walking to a shop.

What is this magic and how do I trap it in a jar?

Time to remove the thermal layers?

Just about to wheel the spacker out of the shed. Puppys all walked and nothing to do until 7 when the wife gets
home. First ride of 2017, last was boxing day.
