Squeaky Toy

Angus got this squeaky toy on Saturday for his puppy classes as a fetch and retrieve toy. It has now lost his squeak but he still loves to play with it.

Puppy Class

Angus had his first day at Puppy School today. It's a 6 weeks course and by the end of it Angus should be able to:
* Recall - On a long line come when called from 5-10 metres away and sit in front of me.
* Heel - Stay in a heel position alongside me with minimal guidance.
* Sit - On first command.
* Drop - On first command.
* Stay - For up to 30 seconds.
* Sit for exam - Allow another person to approach, pat and retreat without moving from the sit position.
* Retrieve - Favourite toy or more.

Today we did the 'come here' command and he was fine in class then when I tried it at home he just looked at me. I think he was over it all. We also learned to make him wait at doors to let me enter first...he did well at that.

There were 6 other dogs there including a Husky, a Labrador, a Bishon, a Maltese, a Jack Russell and a Beagle. He was so excited that he really didn't want to listen to me...very over excited. Hopefully he will calm down in future classes.

I'm looking forward to the coming weeks. I will try to get a photo somewhere along the way to show you his class mates.

14 weeks old

Angus is now 14 weeks old. He's just learned how to dig holes (not big ones) and try and visit the dog under the side fence...so we have had to barricade that off. He spent his first night outside last night and seemed to be fine. He has claimed Murray's chair on the back veranda as his bed and snuggles up on it.
Last week we went to Esperance and Angus got to meet his 5 cousins (my mums, sisters and brothers dogs) He loved it so much...loved all the human contact too! He was so good on the car trip too!
Angus has started to get the snuffly Boxer breathing and is getting longer legs and musclier everyday.


Here are the latest photos of Angus at 14 weeks old.
