Getting nervous now

I´ve studied canine psychology for a number of years now (it was people that put me off becoming a dog trainer in the end and so i didn´t take it any further). I still however give humble advice to people who are willing to listen and thankfully I´ve had many return to express their gratitude. Now that I´m finialy getting my first ever puppy I´m actually very nervous, ´its time to put my money where my mouth is´ as the saying goes.

Now any of my friends will tell you I´m an over thinker, its a curse. And i know I´m simply freaking myself out for no good reason. But a pup is my dream, and not like any dream where you live it then be done...-this- is a life-style change... which is a massive change may i add. On top of the fact I´m one of the worlds biggest procrastinators..(I´m an artist after all).

So far my network of friends have all said the same thing "oh shut up you´ll be fine!" and deep down i know i will but its other factors... what if someone else does something stupid....such as rich teaching him to get excited at the wrong times. Children/ people teaching him its OK to blindly walk across a road (That has happened to me before....a couple saw Skye and called her into the road...seriously W.T.F mate!?)

I guess I´m starting to realise how lucky i was with Skye, she was left in a garden for the first 6 months of her first home life....so its not surprising she is so eager to please. She is such a good girl my Skye *gives her a stroke while she snoozes next to me on the sofa* she is also the sort of dog that settles down too. Which out of the three mallies we looked after, all of them didn´t quite get it at first, but again I´m sure with a pup it´ll be different, and he is such a laid back lil´ bear anyway. Yes that´s all it is really, in a nutshell I´m nervous about training. I want for this puppy to be a well adjusted, well mannered, chilled out moot.

Also this means i have to get my rear in gear and learn to drive.....landrover here i come!!! *rubs hands together!* Yes Richard has just brought a Honda CVR(?) buuut its short wheel base and the boot is tiny..."we can put the back seats down" he says, completely unknown to him i planned to get a Tailgate crate fitted to it...Ya ´know for dog safely and all. I´ll Also be buying a Scooter off of a good friend, and hopfully joining them in training sessions next year ^_^

So yeah, there is a lot to do and above all i hope i do right by the dogs, always.
