Cassie makes me smile when often late afternoon or early evening she goes and sits resolutely by her basket which holds a collection of walking equipment, toys and dummies. This is where we practice various bits of training and games that we have learnt at the classes we have attended. She makes it quite clear she wants to do something, by just sitting there watching me whatever I am doing. I find it very endearing. We either do some scent games, or more recently the movement puzzles which we started. Ten minutes of either and she goes and has a big drink and settles down for the evening.
I knew when I got a puppy that I wanted more than just the "two walks a day" life together and I'm so glad I listened to the advice regarding mental activity. There is no food kept in that part of the house, so it isn't just that --- she has a seperate set of poses for telling me when she is still hungry!
