Date night

Well was beginning to give up on any chance of new relationships but met this new guy on the weekend and we arranged a date for last night Ledger welcomed him in no probs and plans changed to a couple of movies and a takeaway

Now Ledger has never not had 100% of my attention at home but he usually just curls up on the sofa or in his crate but was ott licking us both and pestering, he just wouldn't settle, managed to distract him with a chuck it ball that he chewed on for 4 hrs solid until he managed to bite a hole in it

How has anyone else gone about keeping their dog happy when introducing a new person to the house?

Glad the date went well Jules, filled kong always works with Vin, then again I haven't tried it with a date!  

Erm with new people it tends to be family or friends that come over.

We have a dog gate up for if the boys (well harvey) are pestering and won't settle, he can still see us but settles nicely on his bed behind it.

I also make kongs up in the freezer if i know someone is definitely coming.

When frankie met my OH he humped him the whole entire time!!! He would not leave him alone!!! So much so frankie got more action than I did  
Frozen bones work well and as Ella said frozen Kongs. 18 months on and frankie still likes to sit inbetween us and he will kiss my OH every opportunity he gets!!!!
I think they like to 'vet' potential new people to see how their belly rubs, ear scratches and kisses are!!!

No idea sorry, maybe why I'm single!!
Glad it went well though x

Luckily Ledger didn't do the humping but when behind the child gates he would cry and was definitely testing the fuss he could get when he was in the room with us

Will certainly stock the freezer for next time:P

And Ledgers  

Awww really pleased it went well. I think Ledger will get used to it but when its the first meeting I know Moo goes a little silly for fuss, maybe on the second date it will be easier
