First walk!

Well now that Violet is all vaccinated, today is the day she can go out for a walk! We keep telling her that today is the big day, but she didn't even get up until 10am this morning, so either pups are the complete opposite of children on Christmas morning, or she's just not that interested

Have brought her home to mum and dads this week, so will get dad to bring his fancy wee video camera and try upload something later!

Look forward to seeing the vids!

A big day indeed. I wish I could get Suki to sleep until 1000. She is usally up by 0600 ready to go

Looking forward to the pics and vids.

Normally she gets up at 6 and spends the bare minimum of time outside, then she crawls back into her bed until about 830, but today, there was no way she was getting up! I only hope she isn't conserving energy so she can go wild now that she's allowed out in public

She will probally just sniff everything and refuse to move too much. Try not be get overly frustrated and this is a great step. Taking them for a walk really helps in bonding.

all the best! chances are she will sit and refuse to move, a lot, i used to live in a flat and buster wouldnt go anywhere near the front door or the steps outside

We're leaving from a flat today, and whilst she's very interested in the front door, I don't know that she'll make it out of the close, especially now that it's started raining.

I've been carrying her up to the end of the street and back to get her used to the noises of busses and cars etc. so hopefully that should help her from getting too overwhelmed on her first real outing!

yep spot on, you should test her to see if she will go down the stairs or even close enough to them, buster was litterally too scared of them for a good while, had to cary him up and down, quite an effort when you stay the top dancer lol

how exciting.... the first walk !!

Enjoy !!!

Freedom yay

After worrying that she might not like being outside, the bold Violet STORMED to the park, then all round the pond following pigeons, hopped through the railings and stormed back home again. She met a tonne of dogs which she was completely fine with, even when two dogs ran up to her at the same time.

Only problem was, she didn't know that she was meant to do a pee in the park! :-<

It took a while for vinnie to go the the toilet outside too! dont worry .. it took him a few days to pee *we praised him when he did" .. and it took WEEKS for him to poop lol

little Violet was probably too busy thinking about the big wide world out there and didn't need to wee till she got back.. aawwww...........

She's certainly getting the idea now! Several times in fact

I'm actually really pleased with how good other dog owners are, stopping to have a talk to her and letting their dogs stay for a bit to meet Violet. Plus, there is a massive range of dogs in the park - from the worlds biggest alsatian, to the dinkiest little 5 month old chihuahua, we've met them all. Even some people with a baby let Violet have a wee sniff at their baby's toes!

that can all only be good for her !! sounds like she is making up for lost time !!
