OMG milo wreaked havoc at puppy party!

[Tasha]

am sure the weims were happy to have a little cocker enter their games    Sounds like he had a great time   I loved Bonnies puppy party but they stopped doing them when Ayla was ready for hers so she missed out

He sounds like Alfie - his first puppy socialisation class he spent sitting on my knee or hiding beneath my chair... one week later I brought him back for the second one and it was like 'heeeeeeeeeeeeeeere's ALFIE!' from the moment he got in the door. He was mental, bouncing all over the place, jumping on the other puppies heads and onto people's laps... I even had the owner of a boxer puppy looking at me in sympathy    I took him aside for a calm down but he really was having a ball, his tail was going like the clappers    The vet nurse asked me if it was the same pup that I'd had the previous week!

He is now 18 months old and still remains a very full on dog 

Looks like I might be calling on you for dog therapy!!! Milo sounds exactly like Alfie! He was having a whale of a time and was determined that NO ONE was going to stop him/relax/sit down/have a drink/play with another dog without his involvment! He is def very full on but really funny! All the owners and nurses were looking at me with the deepest sympathy at the merest thought that he might be anything like this at home

The weims were gorgeous! Milo had a special friend called Bella and they could not be separated for love nor sausages!

just go with the flow, don't be a competitive puppy mummy, in fact don't get worried at all!  I learnt that very quickly - jarv's behaviour varied wildly from week to week, but as long as he was being socialised and WE learnt what we should be doing (had a fab puppy trainer  ), it was fine.  As soon as I relaxed about it and realised that every other pup had good or bad weeks I looked forward to going (and you can squidge other people puppies too  )

Milo sounds.........just adorable


ps my worst moment was taking him back to an outdoor obedience class when he was 6 months old - he could walk on a loose lead, wait, lie down, recall etc etc etc.....UNTIL he was at the outdoor class (i nearly died at his behaviour...he was a lunatic!).  Sooooooooooo it was a good reminder to lower my expectations and not to stop reinforcing his training as he catapaulted himself into adolescence

Milo is adorable, yes! Most of my moaning about him is done in good humour! Except the slug incidents I don't like them AT ALL!

I can totally tell that this will be us!  Milo is usually (90%) good with recall but this morning on our morning ramble he started playing with some other dog and despite me waving frankfurters around, running in the opposite direction, calling him he WAS NOT GOING TO COME! KLittle  in the end other dogs owner had to grab him as he flew past and deposit him with me. I was snickering most of the way home
