I have had a busy couple of months! I have just started doing shopping centre visits, which can be quite scary for a small puppy. But I am no ordinary puppy and took it in my stride! One of the most challenging things about shopping centres has been the travelators and elevators, but I have mastered them already!
As you can imagine, I attract a lot of attention in the supermarkets and lots of people like to say hello to me. However, I am learning that when I have my coat on I need to focus on the task at hand. This is great training for someday when I might be a Guide Dog or Autism Assistance Dog. I need to stay focused while out working.
I have also been into a café with my Puppy Raising family. It can be quite challenging to ignore all the distractions and to sit still under the table, but I am learning and I think I am starting to get the hang of it.
I have attended some group puppy training sessions in the past few weeks. Of course I love to play with my littermates and friends, but now the challenge is to learn to walk side-by-side on lead and ignore each other. It’s very hard but I am picking it up!
I am having lots of fun with my Puppy Raising family. I really enjoy playing with the kids and they are so happy to have me living with them. The family lives near the beach and I just love walking along the esplanade with the wind in my ears!
I recently attended the “Lollipop Markets,” which is run by my Puppy Raiser. I ended up being one of the main attractions and even appearing in the event’s photo collage!
Soon I’ll begin taking trips on public transport, a big step in a Guide Dog puppy’s life, so wish me luck and I look forward to telling you all about it soon.
Love
Eastwood the Guide Dog
In 2012 Eastwoods sponsored a Guide Dog pup- called Eastwood, we will continue to provide updates on his progress here.
