Big test for Alfie

Tonight my god daughters came round who are both 2. I was very dubious about how Alfie woyld be with them as he geta very excites and stars nipping. What was I worries about?! He listened to everything I said and I have never seen him so calm and still. Hes been such a good boy he hasnt nipped or jumped up at them once. So proud of him

aww thats fab news (loving your posts)

i think seeing our dogs with a child is an amazing moment....how they can adjust and it was always good that he was listing to you

Fantastic news!

Alfie needs to teach Loki this brilliant news, glad Alfie did, and is doing, so well.

how come?

Tommy is just an over exciteable young dog he's fine but needs to be calmed down before introductions , massive improvements in him though but I wouldn't just let him go running up to a kid at the moment , he would knock them flying if not supervised

tyke is a weird one, with adults he is all over them like a rash (this is what im working on) but with kids he a totally diff ball game, there were a little girl in PAH other day (parents want really watching her as she followed me and tyke around) but he was calm as a dnt know what.............he will get there

That is good news, Alfie is making such good progress you must be very proud of him.

Thanks Kathy, I really am. He really does amaze me sometimes

That's great. Debo loves kids ,he would just lick them,lick them..... Last Sunday he met our friend's son-1,5yr. Apart from the licking he was bril. The boy pull his ears,tail,took toys out of his mouth,open his mouth to put his fist in there. And Debo took it all. I think they can sense that.

So proud of him!

There was one point last night where one of the girls was walking towards me - alfie was on the other sofa - he saw her coming to me and jumped onto my lap as if to protect me. He wasnt viscious at all or growling or anything - is this a bad thing that hes doing?

Great news
