Lessons in bite inhibition.

[Boogie]

Keir is giving the puppy excellent lessons in bite inhibition. Spencer is learning just how hard is too hard

 

[Cath]

So lovely to watch

 

[Joy]

I like the way Tatze keeps an eye on them!

 

[Charlie]

Keir is very tollerant, I too love the way Mummy Tatze is keeping a very watchful eye! x

That's where I went wrong with Ripple - I should have had another dog to train him (would have been so much easier).

Mind you I would have been afraid that the older dog would hurt the puppy. Do you have to stop this sometimes? Or does it all stay very controlled?

I never have to stop the older ones, they are very controlled indeed. I do, however, have to save the older ones from the puppy - thus the barrier across the room to give them time out

[Boogie]

Love love love!!!!! Does Keir leave on Wed??!

Yes he does

[M.F.]

Yes he does

Ah no! But it’s your path... And you do it so brilliantly. Still, doesn’t remove the parting emotions.

It gets harder every time, I’ll miss him terribly. Many tears will be shed.

But, in every other way it’s the best ‘job’ in the world and, like you say, it’s my chosen path.

[Jacqui-S]

Aww, Mags
Hugs to you. But you can send him on his way proud on the knowledge you have made him into a fab young man xx

 

[SwampDonkey]

Hugs Mags xxx

 

[edzbird]

We'll all be with you on Wednesday, shedding bucket loads of tears - I'm definitely going to miss Keir's presence on here.

 

[Joy]

Oh no - make the most of Keir's last couple of days. x

 

[Charlie]

Aww again a bitter sweet day ahead. I know all the pups are special but I get the feeling Keir holds an extra special place in your heart Mags. xx

He does, he really does.

He seems to have developed into an intelligent, noble adult dog without an ounce of trouble. You've done a stunning job with Kier @Boogie

Just out of interest... Do you think you have learned a lot from each pup, becoming a better puppy trainer with each one? Or are they all just individuals and you apply the same techniques which just work at different speeds depending on their personalities?

 

[Lab_adore]

I'm on the train going to work on a freezing monday morning with tears in my eyes..but yes I iterate what had been said above @Boogie, you have done an amazing job with Keir. But I can't imagine how sad Wednesday will be

I’ve become much more organised, so each pup seems easier than the last. It’s the little things which tend to help the most.

Training wise they have all been very different so you adjust to the pup you’ve got. Mollie was hard work to carry around - a wriggler and nibbler! Spencer is happy to be in my arms and watch the world go by.
