I&#8217;ve always wanted a dog but the time was never right. I wanted to adopt a rescue dog rather than get a puppy because that felt like the right thing to do.\u00a0We did try a rescue dog first but the gorgeous hound we chose wasn&#8217;t right for us. He had behavioural issues and wasn&#8217;t safe with the monkeys. It broke my heart to take him back to the dog&#8217;s home but the monkeys come first.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After lots of research, we decided to get a miniature Schnauzer puppy. Malone has been brilliant. He&#8217;s friendly, daft, smart and inquisitive. He&#8217;s part of the family. I had no real expectations of having a dog other than it would be hard work, there would be a lot of poo and I knew that walks were non-negotiable. All I knew I did want is a well-behaved dog. Not a perfect dog but a dog with manners. The puppy needed to go to school.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We used <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fasttrackdogtraining.co.uk\/\">Fast Track Dog Training<\/a> in Liverpool for puppy classes and he starts beginners dog training this week. I can&#8217;t wait. Helen is absolutely brilliant and we got so much out of the puppy sessions. If you see a woman in a Liverpool park shouting &#8220;ready&#8221; while frantically chuck dog treats, it&#8217;s me, it works, say hi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting a dog was a long process.
