Dog versus master - 7th Feb 2012

Rocco at Puppy School

Tonight we were like the second time parents laughing at all the new, over anxious parents with no idea. The only difference is the babies were puppies, not kids.
James and I have started puppy school with Rocco. Our theory was he needs to interact with other dogs (apart from Cuba) and we could do with some tips on how to ensure our two dogs get along and how to train a new puppy while another dog is wrestling him. What we didn't expect was the hilarious carry-on of eastern suburbs puppy owners.
There was the elderly couple who cradled their big Labrador in their arms, rocking him like a baby whenever he whimpered (funny, but very sweet). Then there was the typical annoying family complete with pushy mum, uninterested dad and three kids. Their dog was out of control, as the was the mother.
We sat there like two smug second timers, laughing at the chaos and shaking our heads at everyone with no idea. I even whipped out a “You need to put your dog on the lead" to one afore mentioned clueless idiot. Today's lesson, take heart in the fact there is always someone out there who is stupider than you!
