I can't believe Wanda thinks that if we are not at home, then we must be in the pub

LazyDaisy Apr 2016 5:57pm, 6 Apr 2016 13,840 posts	0 LazyDaisy We've taken Flossie to a cafe in Sidmouth several times. There's a sign saying Well Behaved Dogs Welcome in the window, and Floss just settles under our table. I was a bit taken aback to see an extra sign underneath the original this weekend. It said 'This means they are welcome on the FLOOR and not on the chairs!' It's sad that people actually needed to be told that.
Alice the Camel Apr 2016 7:20pm, 6 Apr 2016 2,646 posts	0 Alice the Camel They love their dogs in Belgium and there are very few shops/restaurants/cafes where they are not welcome. It's not unusual to see dogs sat at the tables with their owners!
Cyclops Apr 2016 8:46pm, 6 Apr 2016 2,312 posts	0 Cyclops Leah had to be carefully trained to sit under tables in cafes and pubs and things. But once we got through to her that that was what was expected she stuck to it. She would then just go under our seat wherever we were including the very scary Windermere boat!
D2 Apr 2016 8:51pm, 6 Apr 2016 8,725 posts	0 D2 These one to one training sessions have been wonderful for training me, I think Bryony is learning much more quickly than I am but I am getting there. Its really helpful to have the trainer in my head when she isn't here but doing the right thing is going to take a while to become instinctive.

D2 Apr 2016 12:43pm, 7 Apr 2016 8,726 posts	0 D2 She is coming at me teeth first today despite all my best efforts she is in a foul temper - I could cry.
Sharkie Apr 2016 1:02pm, 7 Apr 2016 9,122 posts	0 Sharkie Oh D, that is hard. Any ideas why? Does she seem angry rather than just over excited? Sometimes it's hard to tell, I know. You both did SO well on the walk - that was a real achievement.
BaronessBL Apr 2016 1:57pm, 7 Apr 2016 5,378 posts	0 BaronessBL Hopefully she is just trying it on a bit D. You and the trainer have clearly shown her who is in charge and perhaps she's wondering what she can get away with.
