Perfect
Pet Sitter is in Wollstonecraft, on the Lower North Shore, caring for a most adorable and cheeky
little puppy, Audrey, a black Spaniel. Unusual to see a Spaniel - but
especially a black one.
Being only 5 months old Audrey loves getting
into mischief. If I leave my bedroom door open out she comes with an item of my
clothing or shoes – always looking very pleased with herself!
However, she’s very good with the basic
commands - exceptionally so off lead in coming to recall - pretty amazing in one so young. Her owners
have achieved this through rewards based training.
'Come Audrey!' OK!!! |
One of her owners takes her to work with him
each day. Coming back from the dog park by chance I found out where his office
was when in Crows Nest main road Audrey suddenly leapt sideways and hauled me
up some steps. Next she went into a door and almost took wings flying up some
stairs dragging me behind. At the top a chorus of voices said “Audrey!” The
work colleagues were as pleased to see Audrey as she was to see them. It was
great to hear them say they could see how happy she was. I know she missed her
owners the first couple of days but we now have our own little routine and
she’s very content and settled.
Playing in the ornamental pool in Crows Nest |
When we left the office outside was an ornamental pond which Audrey promptly jumped in - much to the amusement of people eating their lunch in the cafes!
Right now Audrey's a bundle of mischief, but she'll grow out of that. Most of all Audrey is one lucky pup. Her devoted and
caring owners are ensuring she’s been exceptionally well socialised and will grow to
be balanced, obedient and happy girl.
Audrey makes friends wherever we go |
A dog Guru from many years ago used to say that dogs needed training so they would be “A pleasure to all and a nuisance to no one”. That’s certainly Audrey!
