More Ring Craft ...

.. And the photo is of one knackered pup after he had the most wonderful time at The Nantlle Vale Dog Training Club ring craft last night. Yes he did his "thing" quite well, stood with no assistance other than a biscuit, move pretty well around the hall but he had the best time whilst waiting his turn. He bounced around, wagging his tail from almost his waist down (if you know what I mean).. He played with Noya and spent ages convincing his sister Bella that this was indeed a fun night out.
For Bella this was a new experience and she was pretty unsure of herself, but as the evening went on she did improve and they did play. She also stood well to be gone over and settled going around the hall. To be fair Loki has been doing this for weeks, we have been breaking the rules and going out before his second vacs, but I always think that careful socialising is worth it. Of course I wouldn't take him down a cycle track or through the high street, that would be asking for trouble; but I'm lucky there are always friends happy to oblige and sitting outside tesco in the car with the boot open gives pups an idea of the busy world.
Food is also a huge asset with Loki, he loves treats. He's still not great at finishing his meals but he's anybody's for a biscuit! After having my fingers chomped on badly on Monday I decided to use a denta-stick last night. It definitely helped but I still came home bleeding! lol
Loki and I also had a very important conversation last night. We are a little worried which cage Linda will be travelling in to the shows. Loki likes to travel where uncle Louis use to travel ... on the front seat, and now that he has his safety belt he has no intention of giving up his seat! Ah well onward and forward! (Upward .... I know!!!!)
