Busy week

Early last week we had some friends staying over at our house. As we're living in the UK and most of our family and friends live in the Netherlands, this is something that happens quite often. So it was a nice opportunity to get Skye used to the hustle and bustle of having people over. We had a really good time and Skye just loved all the attention. She wasn't bothered by it at all.

Friday I've taken Skye on the bus and the tube to Loughton, so we could meet Joost at work and drive back with him by car. Skye had never travelled on a bus before and wasn't too sure about the whole thing at first. The ride was a bit shaky and there were quite a few people inside. But as soon as we found a place to sit down, she was fine again and had a good look around. And of course she got a lot of attention of the other passengers. Which is ok, although I must admit that I do get a bit tired of the baby voices telling her how cute she is. Even the trainer at puppy class talks differently to her than he does to the other pups.

Travelling on the tube went better this time. She didn't shake too much and as soon as the clicker and chicken came out, she was completely back to her own busy self. I'm so pleased with that. However, so far we have only travelled above ground. This week, I would like to take Skye to the city for a walk along the Thames. Let's see what she thinks of that.

Saturday, Skye had her second puppy class. Unfortunately it was raining a bit. But she didn't mind. She really enjoyed seeing the other dogs again. Most of the exercises went pretty well. Except for one of the recalls. Her nose was just glued to the grass. I think the rain brought out lots of lovely smells. Although in the end I could fortunately get her attention again (with the help of many chicken treats). For this week we got lots of homework again. Sit-stays with distractions, recall in and outside the house, handling exercises. We'll be busy again.
