Yes, you do talks to the adults as well, like to the w.i etc, i think Zym would
be really good at doing talks with you the dogs love the attention from
different people, i did this day where a puppy walker, a mobility instructor
and a guide dog owner and yes you guess it, Kiki had all the people wanted to
talk to Kiki instead of a 8 week puppy, the funny thing was as the mobility
instructor was talking Kiki and the puppy was getting nearer and nearer to each
other without her noticing what was happening, Sarahx
