Lemmy - 19th May 2013

Lemmy is an enthusiatic dog. He enjoys being chased by other dogs in the park. He plays nicely and is easy to exercise. When he gets tired, he happily walks beside or behind you. He is very soft mouthed when taking treats from your hand and is motivated by food.

This week we visited our neighbour and Lemmy met her cat for the first time. Cyrus ran away and Lemmy followed him inside. He tried to make friends with Cyrus but was too annoying for him. Lemmy got sidetracked and ate the cat food instead!

We've tested Lemmy in a variety of challenging situations and he has performed excellently. He's friendly and sociable in large groups of people, and plays nicely with other dogs without getting overexcited. He's well behaved around kids and small dogs and he enjoys meeting strangers. He still jumps up on people a bit but he's learning not to. I think Lemmy will make a fantastic family dog as he approaches every new experience calmly with a wag in his tail.

Lemmy - 6 May 2013

Lemmy came with us to some training sessions during the weekend and helped out with a little dog's lead aggression. He was enthusiastic and friendly and provided a good example. During his off leash walks he likes to run up confidently to other dogs and pretend to be an alpha, however this is all for show and he will run away if he gets scared. He's very friendly to humans and enjoys getting pats and attention from strangers. His recall is fair and he can sit on command. At home Tashi is very bossy and steals his food, he puts up with it very nicely.

Lemmy - 2 May 2013

Today we picked up our new foster dog, Lemmy. Lemmy is a staffy cross, possibly with a cattle dog like a kelpie or heeler, from the country. He smelled bad so we took him for a hydrobath and he tolerated it very nicely. Although he was eager to get out.
We walked him on a lead around the park before taking him home. He walks on a lead well for a dog with not much lead experience. He pulls a little towards people and other dogs but it is to greet them, and possibly jump on a few people in hopes of pats.He seems a little unsure of the city and all its hustle and bustle.
He is fine with having us around him at his dinner time. He allowed us to touch his face while he ate and also to take food off him.
He always has a wag in his tail and loves to be patted.
