| October 2007 Cookie has been with us on foster for nearly a month and will be
featured in Your Dog Magazine and a new training book entitled 100 Ways to Train a
Wonderful Dog. She is quite a model and plays to the camera.
Cookie can get over the top and still needs lots of
training. She has mixed with other dogs and has not shown any hint of reactive behaviour
but does get a little carried away which annoys the older dogs! When they tell her off,
she frantically licks their mouths which frankly drives them insane but if they continue
to tell her off she does finally leave them alone. She isn't rough when she plays with
them and she thoroughly enjoys a good romp with my lurcher although speed is definitely
not her forte.
Cookie has been crate trained. She is almost house trained
and sleeps in a large pen in our house to ensure that she doesn't bug the older dogs at
night. She settles straight away and only cries when she needs to go out into the garden.
Cookie is a typical Bull breed. She is boisterous,
enthusiastic, out going, loving and incredibly intelligent. She is learning to target,
knows the commands 'sit', 'leave' and 'off'.
Cookie has been to the park and also to the pub where she
gained many fans. She was fantastic, greeting unknown dogs, children and adults. She
retained her focus and behaved impeccably showing off her training to all who watched.
When Cookie gets over excited she will still grab clothing
but she can now be re-directed onto a more appropriate toy! She needs a place such as a
crate for time out to help her settle if she is |
