On Saturday we went to Chatsworth Country Fair and had a great day. Kiros had 4 runs but two of them were for Grades 1-5 only so he had to run "Not for Competition" in them and, of course was clear in both. In fact he ran the fastest time in the Agility.Typically I caused some faults in the other two classes.
Reno and Ronnie came along for the experience.
Ade walked Reno around Chatsworth for at least 2hrs and he was fine with the crowds, fairground noises and guns so I decided to take him to our local show yesterday. They had an exemption show on so I thought it would be good practice for him.
I got there to late to enter him in most handsome dog and the other classes weren’t suitable for him. I walked him around for a while. It was very different from Chatsworth – Although not as big there were a lot more Children about, running and screaming. He was doing really well until we were waiting at a stand for a drink to be made and a Child (who had been running around him shooting him with a toy gun which he was fine with) trod on his tail! That didn't really help prove to him that kids are nothing to be scared of.
Then a Wild West Shoot Out started in the main ring. Reno was ok to start with then, as the shots got more frequent, he freaked and slipped his collar – He ran to get under a car(stationary) but half way there decided that it would be better to come back to me, thankfully!
So I’m now worried that all Ade’s hard work on Saturday has been undone and he is traumatised for life. He pulled me home until we got out of earshot of the fair. Poor little boy. Not sure if I should try and do something about it or just ignore it? I’m getting a bit worried about how he will react to fireworks. Suggestions welcome!!
