There's a new puppy in our house! As we needed an dog that wouldn't provoke or exacerbate allergies it's been a long wait, with daily searches of local rescues etc etc
We were so lucky to find a Bedlington Terrier/Poodle Cross who is the jolliest, loveliest 8 week old mongrel pup ever! See picture attached.💕 of FitzChivalry Farseer aka Fitz!
He's sleeping in our room, gets up for one or two wees in the night.
He likes going outside to perform his toilet in the day, and has asked to go outside a few times.
He has a crate in the living room, mostly in preparation for a time when we are back in work, one ft, one pt, and for the return of the grandchildren and their friends.
I often want to hide from them so believe that Fitz deserves the same privilege 😊
I have been looking at training, we have both had dogs in the past, but 20 odd years ago.
I wondered if the wisdom of MN's Doghouse could suggest some books, YouTube channels etc, any threads on here, blogs etc for a terrier/poodle boy?
I want to be consistent and not give mixed messages
I like Kikopup on YouTube, a friend with a husky and a malamute recommended Outback Training.
I really want good recall, there are owners of dogs in our local park who ruin others' enjoyment of the space by their inability to prevent disruption of picnics, to stop their dogs scaring small children, etc.
So please, experienced dog owners, what worked for you?
