Honeys First Training Class 8th Nov

We started our puppy good citizen tonight Honey was fab took the whole evening in her stride. We are in a lovely small class of 4, a golden retriever, miniature schnauzer and Sal with Benson. As Ive been doing lots of foundation work with her already she didn't struggle with the sit, down work and we have started on watch me which shes picking up nice and quickly and I know it will come in handy in the future. Next week we start the dreaded loose lead walking so need to start practising at home as Ive kind of put it off a little bit but shes starting to get stronger and I know I will regret it if I leave it too long!!!

Honey's First trip to the beech

After training this afternoon we decided to nip the dogs down to hornsea beech so Bella could have some fun and Honey could experience it for the first time, we all had a fab time and managed to grab some fab pics too :D

One happy and content Labbie :D

Agility Nuts 9th Oct

Our first time at the winter agility nuts and we are in novice plus scary!!! The show was lovely very friendly and relaxed with plenty of space to and from the rings just how we like it :D We started off in Power and Speed with and E for pinging off the A-Frame how rude we normally get this one lol It also tested out the very sandy surface great for Bella as she flew bad for me as can't keep up hahaha Next we had Agility and another E, tunnel under the A-Frame which needed investigating twice lol Then we had Up and Under a fab run but silly me didn't cross where I should of causing her to knock a pole we came unplaced 7th but would have been 3rd if clear how annoying silly me!!! We finished off the day with a very trappy jumping course she ran really well but just one tunnel trap too many tempting her the wrong way. Very pleased as she was last at a show a month ago and new places sometime blag her head a bit but she was pretty calm and focused.
We also took along the Honey monster she was very good quiet in the car, she had a little run in the field with Bella and without just to get her used to being on her own. We also watched a few runs inside and she got to meet some other puppies and think horse poo taste just yummy!!! The best bit was she was almost quiet all the way there and back in the car hurray fingers crossed a few more outings and she will be happier.
We are at Hare N Hounds at the end of Oct no Honey as we are staying over night in a travel inn, looking forward to it just hope the weather stays good!!

Gosh its been 3 weeks already!!!

Well the little Honey Monster has been here for 3 weeks and what a little angel she is :D She settled into my work routine nicely relaxing in the crate when I go out, we have started a it of clicker training she can sit, lay down, give paw, stand and target a lid. Bella loves her little sister they play most of the time shes awake they are starting to sleep next to each other too :D We did have a little nip to Honey as she tried to use Bellas face as a ragger oppsie but I think they need to learn where the line is and most of the time dogs are pretty good. We have been carrying on the socialisation shes been into my work twice and we came home on the bus, has gone to training to meet and greet the other dogs (where she also took herself through a tunnel while we where setting up the kit, cheeky puppy!!) we have been to see the kids at school, to Hull Fair as they where setting up, back to the vets, visiting loads of family shes defiantly coming out of her shell more in new environments we just need to keep working on loud noises. Zak is tolerating Honey at the moment he never liked pups and doesn't understand why she wants to lick him and cuddle up so goes upstairs to hide from her lol My house is a complete tip as I can't help but want to play with her when shes awake lol Especially when she gives you this look!!!
