gsdog2 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 How is your Mal going? Growing like a weed . She's constantly amazing me with her confidence and energy (oh the energy!!). We've started with some basic tracking and obedience work, all coming along slowly. ....and I have 'blender hands' big time I'm sure this was mentioned!!!

Red Fox Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) We go out to the school a few times a week. She's allowed a little contact with the kids (not a huge amount) but once she starts getting tired and/or over-stimulated I scoop her up and move away. The kids aren't allowed to crowd her, one at a time only. The school here is divided into seperate junior and upper primary so we tend to stick with the older kids for now. They don't tend to squeal as much or rush up to her and are generally pretty good at listening. So far she's been to assembly, part of the school concert, fitness training a couple of times and visits before and after school. eta: forgot Toyworld. She loved that! Got herself a pink elephant toy Edited November 22, 2011 by SecretKei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got herself a pink elephant toy aww that's great :D yeah i was wondering because i imagined it could be tricky if you get into that nip-squeal cycle (as in puppy nips, child squeals, repeat!)

ness Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 So do I get to meet the maligator when she is in town or is her schedule fully booked . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptolomy Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 There is a US list I am on and the trainer is doing a almost daily blog of training her new Mal puppy, what she is working on, and includes videos, and covers things like her family interferring LOL. The pup at 13 weeks of age was introduced to scenting in the most fun way, something I will use with future puppies. She also talks about how she chose her puppy and the fact that it is very bitey and how she deals with it. Ness can give you more details......

SmoothieGirl Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Oh god, she's mega cute SK. I've been offline for a while and missed this thread. I hope she's everything you want her to be and more. Huski - I saw Daisy's doggleganger on the weekend at my local park. Same colour and half whitey face and all.
