More training and socialisation

Wallace had a busy day yesterday when he accompanied me and his brothers to work for the first time. Saying that he slept all cosy in the van for the most part of it.
He was carried on to York racecourse for a brief look around where there were lots of people and dogs. After that Wallace met two clients dogs at their houses, one was a very friendly Sprocker and  the other a Patterdale. He also met two young children who made a huge fuss of him.
Wallace saw a tractor which drove right past us and pushchairs with babies in them up close. Wallace had his collar put on and taken off  again but he is still not sure about this or having his paws dried. Wallace was however  unmoved by a  loud smoke alarm and very curious of washing hanging on the line.
Training wise he has been working on walking next to his dad, lying down for his tea with his brothers, learning to follow hand targets which is going well and learning to recall on the whistle which is awesome even at this early stage. Good boy wallace!
Norty wallace however peed on his training mat yesterday, saying that the house training is going better than I ever imagined it would.


A major breakthrough tonight, wallace laid down whilst Iwas preparing his dinner I did not ask him to. he did not move until he was released to get it, no force needed just pure clicker training! Awesome Wallace!!!!
He has been with us for only two weeks today!
