Riley was all excited about leaving her mother and littermates and found the whole journey home really exciting. 

Puppy Socialising Classes

Puppy socialisation is a crucial aspect of their development. Meeting other puppies helps them learn important social skills, build confidence, and understand boundaries. These early interactions play a significant role in shaping their behavior as they grow. Ensure your puppy has plenty of opportunities meet and play with other dogs for a well-rounded upbringing.

Meeting her new vet

27th January 2025

Riley was excited to meet her new vet for her health check and second vaccinations. It was the first time she had been out since moving in with her handler. She had to be carried as she to little to be allowed on the floor until her second vaccination is fully working.

The Vet thought Riley was a lovely health girl who was growing well for her age.

14th February 2025 

Riley enjoyed her first puppy training session with her trainer and handler. She walked about University of Northampton, Waterside campus, meet loads of students and staff who all stopped to say hello and stopped to meet the campus police team. Not only that she got to experience buses for the first time and start leaning to to walk to heal, and concentrate on her handler when out in public. After her session Riley and her handler went home were she has a lovely sleep for a few hours and woke up refreshed and ready for her dinner.
