Primarywhat you teaching?
SorryNot much has made me happy today. I’m stressed to the max as Reuben has had a very bad day. He is being very disobedient, and has been barking and snapping. I have no idea how I can stop him as a stern “no” just riles him up
hopefully tomorrow is a better day.
I’m going to start hardcore training tomorrow, I’ve been letting him be a puppy but his nibbles are getting harder and he’s started to snap. He goes from being this adorable little cuddly puppy to an absolute monster at timesPrimary ☺
Sorry
Today I am happy because all is proceeding well. I finally took the plunge and submitted my application for teacher training two weeks ago? I got invited to an interview Tuesday and was offered a (conditional) place!i was so happy I cried a little
embarrassing!, though they said that’s the enthusiasm they want
Now it’s a case of processing documents, DBS etc. This is also the first time I have to hand in notice! Had to look up how to write a resignation letter
@PigglePuggle I just want to say thank you (and your daughter) again for the help you gave me, I really appreciated it. By the way did she do PGCE or just QTS?
I can’t wait to start. I know it can be difficult and not all roses, but I feel I’m ready for it and want to experience all aspects of teaching.
Congratulations.
Thank you Claire. What does he teach?

He teaches Geography at a secondary school
If I’d gone secondary I would have taught maths.

His wife is Ugandan and they moved to Birmingham a couple of years ago.
Amazing place
Woot! My dad is from a little way from Kampala and my mum grew up not too far from there.
One day maybe.It’s a small world

@Sophie B Reuben would probably benefit from 'positive reinforcement' training... Basically reward good behaviour & ignore/distract bad behaviour.

He’s getting used to the idea of no, and has stopped trying to jump off the floor (crate training so no floor time right now) when told noCongratulations on the wedding @flintstones
Congratulations on the new job @Siikibam 🖍🖊

Try to make training a game for him, he'll respond a lot quicker & it will be more effective long term.
Short, playful, positive training sessions are more effective than, long, negative boring sessions. When it stops being a fun game or he's just not getting the idea, just stop & let him snooze. It'll help you both stay sane! Lol!
If he nips you playing, try to yelp at him as though you're in pain, this is what his mother or siblings would do to stop him & let him know he's being too rough.
Just stop playing & walk away from him if he gets too boisterous & ignores the 'no'. He'll soon learn bad behaviour stops his funtime & company.
Lurchers are usually quick learners so he'll probably pick up the idea reasonably easily (fingers crossed
That's exciting your piggies will love chomping down on home grown carrots!I've grown carrots!They are not huge so I'll leave the rest for a bit longer but they are carrots
