Waiting Patiently

Uffa waiting for dad to come home.



Uffa has now lost his two front teeth and didn't wait for Xmas for his replacements. His behaviour this week has been eratic and I just wonder if his gums are sore. Yesterday morning I got so frustrated with him I started shouting at him. He was just doing everything he shouldn't such as biting me, jumping on the chairs, digging the garden etc and would not respond to 'come' at all in the garden. Even if he learnt nothing, I did. Getting angry and shouting only makes things worse and does no good whatsoever.
Uffa has been to puppy class today and did not behave too well. On the recall exercise he felt the need to visit all the other puppies before reaching me-all 5 times. We called it a day after that.
He is now home fast asleep and I don't think he will be a bother to anyone soon!!
On a positive note Uffa is now walking well and 'steady' is even being used. I took him to some busy roads with large lorries passing close by and he was not bothered at all. He seems to accept new noises and situations much better now. Best of all he still likes a cuddle!
