Pupdate


Our Puppies are all growing up quickly!

Fergie
Fergie has moved in with her puppy dog walker Carol and is now living in Devon.  Fergie has settled in to life with Carol very quickly.
Fergie's basic obedience skills are coming on very well & she is very keen to show off how she has learnt the commands 'sit, stay and wait'.  Fergie has been gaining lots of transport experiences.  She goes on the local bus around town about twice a week.  She has also been on trains as well as in cars.  This is all so that she will be able to guide her future owner on public transport.  Fergie is also a frequent visitor to their local primary school & is loving the attention from all the children!
 Flint

Flint has moved in with his puppy walker, Julie.  He has also been learning his basic obedience skills, 'sit, stay and wait' and has been doing very well.  He is working hard on the skill of 'wait' which he has been finding a bit tricky!  Flint has been enjoying experiencing going on trains too.  He wasn't very keen the first time but he is getting a lot better at it now.  With lots to learn, Flint has had some 'reward' time.  Julie has taken Flint out on some day trips, including, going to the beach at Weston-Super-Mare.  Flint enjoyed digging himself a hole in the sand to lie in!  Apparently whilst he loved playing in the sand, he wasn't too keen on the sea!
Harley

Finally, the lovely Harley.  He has moved in with his puppy walkers, Kate and Stephen.  Kate has said that Harley has been learning his basic obedience skills and that they are excellent!  He has worked very hard.  Harley has been experiencing what a busy high street is like, using lifts and going on buses and trains.  He has also been fundraising for guide dogs at a show in Birmingham and was the star of the stand!  Experiencing different and busy environments is very important as he will need to be confident enough to guide his future owner when they are out and about.
Harley has been making new friends too, having a new best friend, called Isabelle.  She is another black labrador and apparently they are inseperable.

It is so lovely to hear how our puppies are getting on.  I look forward to updating you with more news very soon.
