I know you must all be sick and tired of me harping on
But I can't help it, I am just soooooo proud of my little pup!
He has had a bit of a pants week, had yet another upset tum (should learn that old solidified cheese sauce is not meant to be nicked from the bin
) The more he runs around the worse it gets, so he was on boring on the lead walks all week.
Today we went in the woods expecting manic spaniel to have returned.... He was brilliant, his reponse to the whistle is instant now, even when he is crashing through the woods out of sight!
He also did something he has never done before today. He went to disappear off down a path that he always buggers off down, but checked and noticed we were going straight on, changed his mind and came with us
He just seems to have a much bigger desire to stay with us, or at least keep us in sight, if he pops out the undergrowth and can't see us he will come and finds us before carrying on with his mad dashing
His walking to heel seems to have finally clicked now, he even managed to not pull whilst walking past the ducks the other day
He is also being a star in the garden, will sit and lie down from a distance, comes into the house if I whistle him, even leaving his friend (The Pigmy Goat!!) for the whistle
So for anyone with a dog that is less than keen to come back, don't give up!! I was told that Otto would never be safe off his lead, and after only four months he is a completely different dog!
I promise I will stop boring you all now, unless he does something amazing like rescues a small child from a well, or learns to speak
