January the 16th - Pudsey in the making.

My dog starting dog dancing lessons today.

I felt that moving to a new area meant that I had to start at least one new interest and bonding with my dog seemed to be the perfect new way to do that.

"you put your left leg in, you put your left leg out"....   ok, so dog dancing isn't really like that, nor doing the waltz. Today being the first lesson was only really showing the teacher what my dog already knows  so that she knows where to progress from. The trainer is a lovely lady herself with a poodle. In-fact there are a couple of poodles in the class, so Rosie isn't alone on that side of things.

The dogs in the "advanced" class were doing some trotting, so I had a little go at that. It appears that Rosie is a dog who can trot well, however, being a big dog, she likes to have a fast pace, which I am not able to manage myself that well.

We will be going every Friday (providing both me and Rosie are well enough). I am sure this will be great fun and can't wait to learn lots of new moves and tricks with my lovely dog.
