Wish me luck Elly ( 6 month old lab) starts dog training tonight I have a feeling I am going to need it!!  Also for those who remeber, Bracken (lab I took to liverpool in november for operation on her back leg), is doing very well, she has now been exercised for the first time in 3 months after confining her all that time, she was so excited to be on the beach, despite having three legs being 11 years old she would not walk but bounced very wobbly on her three legs and headed right for the sea!!!!!!  Baby steps at the moment she is only allowed to exercise in 10 minute stretches and cries when I take her back to the car but she is getting stronger by the day, thankyou for all your help and advice it is so good to see her happy :O)  She is getting back to normal ( we do have a small side effect if another dog comes near her she pretends to be the killer dog from hell but I guess she is scared they will bump her over so thinks she will warn them off first as it is only the bouncy dogs she is like this with, but as I put her on a lead for her own safety as soon as I see one near it is not a problem).

Good luck Ebony :) So glad to hear Bracken is coming along, thanks for the update :)

Thankyou :)

Good luck hun let us no how it goes fingers crossed!

Well we are back and still in one piece lol.  She was so much better than I thought she was going to be :) Even ignored the other pups and came to me on recall.  Except she thought I was mad when I tried to get her to walk backwards from a sitting position just looked at me as though I was daft and refused to budge!!  All the others did it no problem ;).  Guess it is practise practise practise lol.
