Alan goes to town

Alan goes to town

This week we have been going into town to get Alan familiar with all things shopping… Love it or hate it, everyone needs to go shopping at some point so it’s important that Alan will be comfortable going into town and shops with his client. One of the main issues for...

Sydney

Sydney leaves us...   Unfortunately Syd has been withdrawn from the programme as she is a very sensitive soul who finds working in busy environments such as towns and supermarkets just a bit too much. The Medical Alert Dogs are so extra special and have to be...

Making new friends This week we had fellow Medical Detection puppy in training, Sydney come to stay. Sydney is an eight and a half month old Cockerpoo and very sweet – and fast!! Bounce and Syd had great fun chasing each other around the garden, first one in front...

Finally…

Bounce has finished all his vaccinations and is now allowed out for proper walks – hooray!! Our first walk had to be at Ashridge as that’s always been a firm favourite with us and the dogs. Dillon showed him what to do, and he was soon off exploring his new, bigger...

Finding Bounce’s character. Ok so I’m not saying that he’s naughty as such, because he isn’t at all – let’s just say that he’s becoming more challenging as he’s getting more confident! Don’t get me wrong, it’s all good and as it should be, I think I’d be more worried...

Practicing our training. A whole month has now passed since the tiny puppy that was Bounce joined us – wow! He’s grown so much and is now a whopping 10kg! We had a heelwork practical at the Medical Detection Dogs headquarters in Great Horwood this week. It was so good...

Meeting new people. I can’t believe we’re into our third week with Bounce already! He’s growing so much, he almost looks bigger every morning at the moment. Even though Bounce still isn’t fully vaccinated so isn’t able to be down on the floor, we’ve been taking him...

Finding our teeth! I laughed at our trainer Sophie when she warned me about Bounce chewing things around the house such as the skirting – “Ha!” I said, “We haven’t got any skirting for him to chew!” (You might have noticed from some of the photos that our house is...

Hearing new sounds. There’s been lots going on this week at home. The plumber has been back to finish our downstairs shower room and put some electrics in the ceiling so there’s been lots of drilling, banging and cutting. Bounce hasn’t been bothered at all by the...

Getting to know you

What an amazing week! Bounce is just the sweetest puppy and we are all completely smitten already. It’s been lovely to see how much he’s changed even in this short time and how his confidence has grown seemingly by the hour! Sophie our trainer recommended that he...

He’s here

He’s here

Meet Bounce! He arrived this afternoon and has settled brilliantly. He’s very chubby and sleeps a lot – he’s asleep now so I’ve left my husband babysitting so that I can write this! He’s been brilliant so far with all of his “busy busy” in the garden, although I’ve...

Week 3

I’ve been to another trial lesson with Dawne today.   This time we met at Coombe Hill and it was more of an informal dog walk.   I took my own dog, Dillon with me and there was another new socialiser there with her dog Oscar, so it was a great opportunity...
