Bugsy had a meet up with his brother Bentley

Today was Bugsy's first class. He was an absolute star and had a great time meeting everyone and playing in the hall. He didn't do any training other than lots of socialising and getting used to the environment. Next week he will have to start working in class.

Afterwards we went to the home of his brother Bentley and let them play for a wee while. They immediately fell into playing like siblings and I am so happy they get to see each other every week.

Sharing a bowl at lunchtime. Bugsy, my pup, is the lighter of the two.



There are two puppies here!





Behaving for treats.





The result, a shattered puppy!

He's grown so quickly since the last pic I saw :shock: they are both beautiful

Awwwwwsome!

I cannot believe how fast he has grown. In a fortnight he's gone from smaller than Pippin to an inch taller at the shoulders than him! :shock: He's not going to be small and cuddly for long!

Thanks, they are!!

Bugsy has also learned not to eat his food till he has heard two whistles which is amazing. He sits still, I put his bowl down, blow the whistle and he eats his food. It is incredible watching such a small pup doing so well.

Bless his wee puppy paws...... Thats really impressive Ali.. he is doing very well....

He really is the perfect pup. I'm dreading this weekend because he's off to foster for two nights. Re lady he's going to had recently waved her pup off to advanced training so her and her family are really looking forward to having him. I've no doubt he'll be spoilt rotten!

I'm not really a dog person, but they are very cute and look well-behaved as well as having fun.

oooh, its early days and you're already attached. what will you be like when he has to go???

I Think i need to wear an XXXL jumper when I see him... you'll never know where he's gone!!

Thanks guys!

Fee, the way to look at it is that he does Primary and Secondary school with me, junior and senior puppy class. He thenleaves to go to advanced training, university, before starting work when he's partnered with someone. Hard but we know it's what is going to happen and there will be a proud parent aspect to it.

The advanced training set up is fantastic, through the well they live in huge kennels with a friend, the same friend throughout, and have tvs, 24 hour care and lots of fun as well as work. They get the weekends off with foster families and do no work during these times other than the whistle feeding. It lets them just be dogs and gives their brain a rest from the stress of learning. It's such a good set up at least I will not worry about how he's being treated.
