Last night was Obedience Class which used to really depress me as Morse and I struggled round while youngsters with beautiful little collies tried not to look smug - on one inglorious occasion Morse stampeded around the hall during a recall exercise, opened the fire doors and barked his head off while teh rest of the class strainedto join in! Well, he's been improving, and last night we were invited to the Advanced class - we chose to sit and watch. On a walk today he recalled first time even when playing with his mates and over a distance when facing another dog. Since he had a mischevious morning at home ( eating the loo brush, barking mad and hiding under a bed) I am so proud of him and really glad we toughed it out at school together.
