You adopted a puppy and you thought you could keep him or her for yourself? Well, guess what: everyone you know will want to meet the cute, newly arrived puppy! Plus, meeting other people and animals is an important part of socialization.

*Last time, I went to town to experience new situations, remember? Well, I met a fellow dog during the walk! It looked like me, but was a grown-up. We got to play together! My humans were so happy to see me play with another dog - they gave me a treat; it has become a habit.  Again, if I knew it was this easy to be a dog, I’d have started earlier!*

##### ***My new pooch friend*

 

*A few days later, I received the visit of a tiny human - a puppy human even, one would say. He’s very gentle with me, and we have something in common: we both like to play. It can’t be a coincidence, so we made the most of our day together.*

***For starters, he has a lot more toys than I ever had! Dinosaurs, little cars … he had e-ve-ry-thing. When we got bored of playing with those, we started playing a new game called “fetch the ball”. It’s very easy to play. You need a human, a dog, and a ball.*

*Here the rules:*

*1. The human throws the ball*

*2. I fetch the ball and take it back to the human*

*3. Repeat until the human is tired of throwing the ball*

*Easy, isn’t it? Pretty sure it won’t be a surprise if I say that I was given treats as rewards for taking back the ball. They’ll run out of treats if they keep the pace up!*

##### ***That’s me, best dog around at the “fetch the ball” game*

 

*The fellow dog and tiny human were not the only ones I met recently. I went to puppy class with my new parents. It’s great fun! We had good times and I learnt a lot, especially from chatting with the other puppies. They gave me some training tips for my new parents like leash-training, or how to be cuter - we all know I’m cute already.*

*I’ll show you next time!*
