Collected 8 week old Bryn from the breeder on Friday and after a few difficult nights we're starting to get into a routine. The crying stopped after 2-3 nights and we are getting up once at around 3am to let him out for a wee. Then up again at about 5.45. Tonight we'll try to stretch it to 3am and 6am. We've been out and about meeting friends dogs and as many people as possible which has been great fun. Looking forward to being able to put him on the floor! We've also been clicker training his name, sit, take food nicely and walk to heel... some small progress made on those... amazing how quickly he can pick things up. Anyway, a few photos... after an afternoon pint hiding from cousin arthur (lhaso apsu) in the garden
Re: A few days in with Bryn What beautiful photos, he is adoreable and well done for getting Bryn out and about, even if he isnt on the floor, he is still socialising , lovely puppy
Re: A few days in with Bryn So handsome you are Bryn and starting early at the pub, I like it 8) He's stunning and well done with the training so far x
Re: A few days in with Bryn He's divine,you are doing a great job of getting him out and about,it will,pay dividends later x
Re: A few days in with Bryn It's just a thought, but did you know that you can take well behaved dogs on the Cardiff park & ride? We took Holly on it a few times as part of her socialising. Holly and I waited on a bench in the city centre while OH did some shopping. It was great experience with the buskers, roundabout and all those people.
Re: A few days in with Bryn Wow, that's great, well done! I think I may have to do the pub on my own but I have ear marked tomorrow . Also haven't started clicker training yet. But it sounds like all is well for you and your pup

This week we have been the village train station to see trains / commuters / cars but no rides yet! Yesterday we had a few mins on Cowbridge Road which is enough to scare anyone ;-) next week have a car-boot sale and cardiff food festival planned
