Seren - School
We started puppy class with enthusiasm but it hasn’t worked out well. Seren is the massive lummox that no one wanted to sit next to. The majority of her classmates are tiny, weeny, fragile things that were frighteningly expensive. A lot of the class intend to breed from their beloved investment acquisition. Between exercises the fragile little dudes are picked up and rocked like babies whilst their owners glower at Seren. Seren could probably fit half the class in her mouth and still have room to chew her kong.
Seren can do all the things, all the commands, but the minute there is nothing to do she barks and lunges at the prey. It doesn’t really matter if a 2 kg pug-poo doesn’t do what you tell it, just pick it up and bend it into an approximation of a Sit or Down. Recall on a long line is like landing a reluctant fish for the small dog owners. If Seren doesn't do long line recall, it's me that falls over if I try to prompt her with a tug..
Week one we just had a sense of people avoiding us, by week five people just aren’t hiding their disdain for us and our barky frightened puppy.
Last week was truly awful, with people giving us an obvious wide berth and filthy looks. Seren ended up so confused and wired, she threw up all the way home. She’s got typical big puppy travel sickness at the best of times. Seren is now so disruptive in class, I just don’t think there is any going back.
