Update on Stella( Bella )

Post by jansterb »

Well we have had Stella since Oct 1st ! She's been full on since day one !! We had a few " accidents " but that's sorted now , she's much better on the lead and we took advice we got in the form and got her a crate which has worked well ! Having said that Garry has had a jacket chewed and, she demolished my black lepel bra and more recently the handle on my lap top bag ! She will chew anything given half the chance !
We enrolled on the kennel club bronze award training program which Stella just loves , she's the little star , learning very quickly , much more quickly than the other dogs on the course ( I am a very proud mummy every Monday night ! ) :1958: it's a great group with a trainer who ironically is called " cat " , a dog behaviourist and a nutritionist , so we are learning lots together and throughly enjoying it ! Can't wait to get our rosette in January , then we are going for silver and gold !
Stella is the most loving affectionate lab I have ever had the pleasure of knowing , she's just wonderful, we thought sabbath was affectionate , but Stella well she is just off the scale ! She is cuddled up with me as I write this .
She loves the company of other dogs , cats and people ! She sits in our bay window waiting for the cat opposite to come out and then cries when he does to go out and play !
Taking on a puppy after sabbath has been a shock to the system but a good shock , it's great to learn together, I feel like an experienced dog owner now , I love learning about doggy behaviour it's fascinating and so rewarding as we train together with Stella
We are all very happy together , Stella as her name suggests really is a wonderful little star ! :1971:

Stella sounds an absolute charmer. So nice that she's so affectionate. Method in her madness perhaps as she sounds very difficult to reprimand. :love2:
I'd love to see some photos too....

It is so nice to read these type of posts when people are working with the dogs so often people just give up well done Stella and hope to see a pic of you and your Rosette soon.

Star by name and star by nature bless her (well, except for your Bra :1964: ).
Lovely to hear that Stella has settled so well and has made you a very proud Mum again,

Fantastic photo she looks gorgeous. That photo reminds me of my old lab when he was a youngster (although he was a black boy :1967: ) who used to sit staring at the rabbit and guinea pig in their run for ages. He was a gentle soul so I don't think he wanted to hurt them he just wanted to play.

I'm so pleased that she has settled in so well.
Good luck with the Silver and Gold next year! :thumbup:
