Takara's first proper public access outing

Takara got her new jacket recently and we went for lunch on Saturday to a pub which doesn't normally allow dogs in but I called up and explained and they let her come with us

I've plucked up the courage to post the pics from that outing (which went amazingly well!) but I'm not sure I can post the blog address here so if you'd like to follow the training blog - please pm me

Ready to go:


On our way:



At the pub:


Then she chose to lay down (all by herself!):


And this was how stressed she was by the time our food came and we ate:


Really, really pleased with her On the way back we passed a lot of potential triggers including an offlead dog that approached us on the pavement, a motorcyclist starting up his bike and a man whistling to her which she totally ignored and looked at me instead!

BRAVO! Well done both of you!

Great pics and nice to here that some estabilshments are prepared to relax their rules for this kind of thing.

Atta girl Takara She's a little star!
And well done that pub for letting her in

What a good girl! Well done, Takara (and you too, Lottie!)
