We’ve actually had quite a good week. I don’t think we have
had any crazy chewing, there has been some serious digging in the garden but I
can live with that. I did bust him playing in the garden with my toy beagle
that was a gift. I didn’t have time for photos because it was being dragged
around in the mud and I wanted it back pronto. How he got it I do not know
because it was on a windowsill. He would have had to climb on the back of a
sofa, on top of the microwave and then up onto the windowsill!
At
our Scent work class at the weekend we met our instructors’ dogs Harry and
Merlin. Charlie may have met his match in Merlin as they tore around the hall
playing with Harry supervising. I think Charlie is getting the gist of Scent
work, he is getting quite quick and has managed to find a scented rag in a box
in another box – very clever beagle! He got a little overexcited when we got
out a lot of cones that they had to search under, he started by ploughing
through all of them and grabbing the cones not the toy. I suppose at least he
was having fun!
Charlie did manage to resist diving into my very delicious
steak dinner, but he sat very close and tried to look very cute hoping I might
drop some. I’m afraid to say that I did not so he had to make do with a doggy
treat from the snack jar.
I
have also been trying to train him to the whistle, though I think I just look a
bit nuts at the moment because I am trying to make the whistle exciting so I
blow it and them play crazy games. I am hoping that I will get a response out
of Charlie before I am labelled the local nut!
