Training Treacle (2)

Well, she's arrived. I drove Steve and Caroline down to Sussex on the 5th August to collect young Treacle. I didn't need to attend but it allowed me to be nosy and it meant that both Steve and Caroline could concentrate on bonding with Treacle on the way home.

She is a very confident little dog and was not put out at all by her first car journey. When she arrived at her new home she soon checked everything out and settled in. She found her indoor kennel (usually called a crate), and wandered in without any prompting. Treacle of course is still a baby so spends her time either sleeping or running around like a thing possessed. Although her training has not started in earnest she is already responding to her name, coming when recalled and sitting on command. She has also started doing a nice basic retrieve. She wants to please and has a lot of potential, I have very high hopes for her.

Treacle's next milestone is 16th August when she has her second lot of jabs and is then allowed out in the wide world and her education really begins. All of her training will be stress free and play driven. She will learn her place in the human pack by using the system of Amichien Bonding which will mean Happy dog/Happy owners.
