On the 15th of November, we went to meet our new foster dog, Jack, a 2 year old Staffy x Heeler cross (may not even have Staffy). He was very inquisitive and full of beans.
1.00pm : Picked Jack up from the kennel.
2.00pm : Took Jack to the park with a dog pack. Walked him on a lead.
2.30pm : Walked Jack off-lead. He already knew his name which made learning to come when called a bit easier. Jack took cues from the other dogs in the pack and soon got the message that a whistle or "come" meant he was to return to us. He responds well to short firm commands.
4.00pm : Took Jack to the beach with other dog pack. He enjoyed having a paddle and a swim.
5.30pm : Jack played with toys in backyard. He did not take too kindly when a toy was taken off him and growled at nearest dog (Tashi). We spent the next 10 minutes playing and stopping play with toys. *Have to learn "drop" and "leave" and to not jump up on people.
6.30pm : Evening walk in the park with Jack and Tashi to further tire him out as he is a heeler and needs a lot of exercise.
10.00pm: Jack cried in crate for a while. We sat outside his crate until he calmed down.
