Dog Workshop and Socialising Class 30th June 2012

Even though the weather was a bit of a wash out - nine people attended the dog socialising class There was Beautiful Cedar - a German Shepherd - B a rescue lab cross - Gracie the lovely staffie rescue bouncy as ever - more focus on the little dogs more than on her owner! Barney the labrador who came with his pal Maggie the American Bulldog. Bo the little chihuahua wanted to stay close to her owner and was a bit wary of the bigger dogs. The class was mainly socialising the dogs of different breeds and sizes with each other and walking to heel - not pulling on the lead - 'lead control'

Bella the Sharpei cross a young pup came to the workshop for work on her recall - and walking to heel on the lead. Two people came to the workshop to ask advice on neutering the dogs - and whether it altered their dogs 'behaviour'.  One lady was quite upset about how a man was treating his dog and wanted to know the contact details for reporting it.

The workshop is for dog owners not only to have some training more on a one to one basis but also to ask advice on neutering, microchipping, toilet training and any other issues or questions they may want to know.  Also free poop bags are given out to other dog owners.
