Day 3 with the Pup....


I thought I would update the blog on how things are going with the puppy. The first night was hard as she was not happy sleeping away from us, night two was much better, and last night was really good. I think she is beginning to settle down into her new home.

We are trying to get her socialised with as many things as we can, she comes out with us everywhere at the moment as i do not want to leave her at home alone while she is unsure of things.

Luna is not afraid of traveling one bit, i think she kinda likes it as every time we get in the car she instantly settles down for a long sleep. Hope she keeps this trend up as a lot of places we want to take her are a drive away, such as the beach and forest.

Her training is showing good sign's at the moment. Even though she is only 7 weeks old she is getting into the habit of going to the toilet outdoors. As every time she wakes up after one of her many day time snoozes, I take her outside and this seems to be working well.

Also she is great at 'coming' when called outside. (Again maybe just as she is shy at the moment.) And she loves to play 'Fetch' with her pink rope. This is the major one i want her to learn, as she will be such a big dog i want her to play 'fetch' so that she can cover a greater distance when we are out for walks.

I am lucky to be in University and working a part time job. So most of the day i am at home to keep up the training during the early days, although i probably should be doing my Uni work and not training a puppy and writing this blog......hummm.


The puppy went to the vets on the 22nd and had her first round of shots, her next shot is in two weeks, and I can not wait for this as she will grow so fast and keeping her confined to the house will become impossible.

Our vets run a Puppy socialisation class for 11 week+ puppy's. Sounds like a good idea to get her used to a variety of other dogs and breeds. Even though there are plenty of dogs in my family for her to get friendly with it can only help.
