Tropical Inc came to visit us again today as part of our second Companion Animal Practitioner Training Clinic.  The lovely Steve brought some baby chicks, along with meerkats, two skunks, bearded dragons, a pygmy hedgehog, snakes, tarantulas, a hawk, a snapping turtle, a macaw, and the gennet. I love the gennet.  The chicks all fell asleep whilst people were doing TTouches on them. Seemed very appropriate to have them here as Easter is approaching.  Léo decided to escape from the garden in the afternoon and had a lovely time greeting people and dogs at the end of the clinic.  He behaved beautifully and came back the moment I called him so the months of hard work using TTouches and the clicker have definitely paid off.  Some dogs are somewhat challenging during the adolescent period but if you keep calm, stay focused and are consistent in your handling and training they usually mature into calm and well mannered adults.
