hello - I am a newbie to mumsnet and adoption, just introduced myself on the newbies thread! We have our first meeting in a few weeks but I am in a fluster already about our dogs!
We have two, a chihuahua, who is the sweetest softest gentlest dog ever (shes not snappy or yappy like chihuahuas can be - very placid and sweet). We also have a sweet sappy boston terrier, who is gentle and cuddly. BUT for that first 5 minutes when anyone come in the boston does that dog thing where he is so excited and happy he jumps and twists and bounces and jumps all over the furniture and up people... literally for 5 mins then he's back to normal. We are in the process of re-training him to sit in his bed when people come in and in the past 2 weeks are having loads of sucess which is good. So I suppose my question is has anyone had an experience with their dog being assessed and whats involved? If he fails is that the end of the process or are you given a chance to re-train the dog and try again? Do they take into account that dogs is dogs and they can be a bit excited!?
Any info greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!
