Amazing photos of Alfie!

Posted by Elizabeth Murphy

Welcome back to Alfie’s Puppy Pen!

Alfie is continuing to have a fantastic time in his training, and is being supported by Jan and Mike, his Volunteer Dog Trainers. Mike is a wonderful photographer and has captured some brilliant photos of Alfie living his best life, so of course we had to share them with you!

First up, we have some brilliant action shots of Alfie playing ‘catch’ in the park with Jan…

Regular playtime is very important as it is a great form of exercise and provides Alfie with lots of mental stimulation. Interactive games like ‘catch’ are also a great way to strengthen the bond between him and Jan, which will help Alfie to succeed in his training.

Next up, we have a super photo of Alfie having fun in the park, surrounded by lots of other happy dogs.

Spending time with other dogs is a vital part of Alfie’s training, as it helps to develop his social skills and confidence. Alfie is likely to meet many dogs throughout his life, so we want to make sure that he feels happy and relaxed in their company. It is also important that Alfie understands how to read the body language of other dogs, as not everyone he meets will want to play!

Last but not least, we have an amazing photo of Alfie giving us his best smile. This moment was captured while Alfie was enjoying tummy rubs and tickles!
