we decided to take fred out today to the field...

he did really well... there were a few dogs on the field...we did some training first, i walked him up and down and next to another dog... not once did he bark, which i was really glad of.. normally i wouldnt let him off but i thought bugger it... i feel hes ready and so am i ... and he didnt even bother even when a young border collie was playing within sight ... we then went to PAH and he was brilliant with all the dogs except a puppy... which scared him and make him bark and back off in fright lololol...

im really chuffed with him :love:

Well done Fred and his mum :love: :love:
I always do my training little and often , i think that mine tend to remember more that way ( or maybe i do ) :san22:

:2431: thats how ive been doing it with fred.... for the past week weve not stepped foot off the street.. today is the first time hes been out since he came back from mascani, i wanted to make sure i was in total control of everything.. and he didnt let me down :san12:

Thats excellent Shelley!!! kala barked at a puppy on the beach today born the same day as her and terrorized it!! :2431:

thanks jude... i cant tell you how chuffed i am at myself lol... i made sure i stayed calm around fred and other dogs ...

:2445: @ kala the little minx....

:san50: Sounding good Shelley.

cheers bev :love:

if we have time tomorrow were going to elvaston to watch the training.... im not going to join in, unless they make me, i just want to see how he reacts in that situation

Fantastic hun, well done :love:
Good steady progress

cheers lynne.... :love:
thats exactly him im taking it...steady.. just before we left the field today a woman came on with two boisterous cockers.. they were running up to everyone... so we left before they came up to us... fred had done so well... i didnt want to test him that far so soon... :nhy:

:san50: Well done Shelley and Fred

Sounds like everything is coming together nicely now :2879: Better to take it slowly and get good results than rush and set him back

cheers bren..... im sooooooooo chuffed with him and myself... we understand each other lol.. and we are 99% sure we will be coming to zeps training next month :san12:

:san12: :san12: :san12: Keira wants to see Fred :san15:

and fred wants to see keira again :kss: lol.... he neeeeeeeeeeeds a woman :2431:

im looking forward to meeting mickey

Hopefully Mickey and Fred will be good boys and get along

I really enjoy the training We went twice this week Wednesday with just Mickey and Thursday night with both of them

Mickey is trying for his bronze on Thursday but im not expecting him to pass because he has decided he no longer remembers what a stay is He was doing a down stay for two minutes no problem a month ago but since his little behaviour change its as if he has gone backwards

fred and mickey meeting could be fun :2431: ... i love training.... if only i could drive .....

im sure mickey wont let you down on thursday hun... and if he doesnt pass.... so what.... .... youve not ahd him 5 minutes, you cant expect miracles hun.... i reckon hes not as bad as you make out anyway.... :nhy: ....other people always see our dogs differently to what we do...
