Thanks! hes a lovely boy to train though!
the shows where in lancs & the next day at newark,i live south west! but it was really worth the trip! i didnt even care that the girls messed me about!!!

Michelle, that is brilliant, well done.  He really is a star.
Sandra

he is! i honestly didnt expect to do it the 2nd day because he was tired from the day before! but he showed me!
i have just over a month now to get his scent perfect/confident!

Congratulations Michelled and Flyn :) What exercises did you have to do ?

heel on lead
heel off lead
retrieve & novice recall
sit & down stays!

he lost one on sat, & one & a half on sunday. you lose a 1/4 for anything that goes wrong. eg wonky sit/anticipation/coming away from your leg etc etc!

Flyn is a prodigy then :D Actually we could almost do that except our heel work aint that tight yet and Morse is older than Flyn by 2 months. Dead impressed.

Green with envy, ;) but so pleased for you. Flyn must be a bit of a star in the making!

We have had our little bit of achievement tonight too, as daughter number one has finally managed to put Sparky through his Kennel Club good citizen bronze award. She was so disappointed when he "wasn't ready" last time, but had the most fantastic grin when I picked them up tonight.

Happy mum, ecstatic daughter, sleepy pup!

Congratulations Sian, Sparky and Tracy :) I think its better to be not ready than to fail especially for kids, as it encorages them to persevere and to cope with adversity. Well done.

Well done, your good work is well known in deepest Somerset :)

Well done :) So pleased all the work is paying off :)

Karen

well have to really try to polish up his scent now!
it was my aim (training programme wise) to win out by the middle of the season! so will have to crack on abit now!
