Bit of a gushing pointless really
This morning as my little dog was watching me for his next command, hunting out the cover I directed him into, turning and stopping on the whistle, then galloping back to me when called and walking beautifully at heel off the lead, I was thinking back to this time last year and the little nutter that I thought would never be off the lead!
He seems to have suddenly grown up in the last couple of weeks.
And his crate suddenly has become his favourite place in the world! He often takes himself off for a nap in there (despite the huge squishy bed he has in the sitting room!). Then yesterday I was getting changed to go out riding, went to put my boots on and suddenly realised I didn't have a little black and white shadow! He had taken himself to his crate and was sat inside waiting for his biscuit, he'd even managed to get the door open himself so he could go in it!
The howling and whining has stopped whilst we're out too, good job really as we are likely to have neighbours once we move!
I'm so proud of my little pup, and of all the turn-around cases of AAD, proof that hard work occasionally pays off
