Seriously guys, you do not need Cesar Milan when you have Cayla.....

I know I keep saying it

but Amy is just abso-bl**dy-lutely amazing, and I cannot believe it

I took the dogs for a run out in the paddocks tonight after work, and they all went mad chasing each other around in huge circuits - even Islay joined in

Then Amy saw the young stock in the next but one paddock - five yearlings who live out - and took off in their direction

I was abolutely petrified, Flick and Islay were in hot pursuit, and I could well imagine what would happen when 3 greyhounds met five young horses.....

And then I called Amy (once I had remembered the right name of course

) - and she turned straight back and came belting up to me

I had my first whippet when I was 17, so thats 23 years ago now, and I have never ever had a whippet/greyhound/lurcher which I could call off once it was in pursuit

Cayla is an exceptional dog trainer, and if I could bear to be parted from them Islay and Flick would be straight up to her to learn recall skills

Just to make you blush a bit ya know Cayla

What a good little doggy! Tilly is the first I've ever been able to call off the chase, I can call her off a rabbit when lamping to conserve her energy if its obviously a really long run and the damn thing is blatently going to hop back in the hedge when she gets there!

I can't call her off deer though...Cayla fancy retraining my lot?

 

[mattilda]

It would appear you have found a star in the making. She sounds to have slotted in with the other girls with no problem.

 

[CAYLA]

Wait till the drugs wear off

Lol.....I think you are after summit....u are being scarily complementive at the moment (cayla is scared)

Funny you post this, I had a call from the greyhound rescue to ask could I work with some greys for cat testing and recall as they have some lovely pet homes for them to go to, and dare not without some training

I have already promised to help a boxer with recall issues(he also likes to eat dogs)

, I will help when I have time to scratch my arse

I have to keep them in check....it's me big gob that makes them hot foot back, you obs have a bigger gob then me

 

[CAYLA]

Just thought aswell...u still cannot diss cesar.....I don't even think he deals with recall

 

[FestiveSpirit]

You know I just dont understand the whole Cesar thing at all

I dont even like the salad

I think you will be in demand at the AAD meetup, I want you to teach Islay instant recall when chasing any cat/rabbit just in a one hour lesson

 

[CorvusCorax]

Good girl! Our friends who came to stay the other week, all their dogs turn on their heels the minute they are whistled - mine come back, but are like 'Yeah...I'm coming...yeah...hang on..ALRIGHT! I heard you...just a tic...'

Cayla rethinks the AAD meet, for fear of being jumped upon with doggies and owners

Aw! What a gorgeously cute and at the same time heart crushing image I get in my head, Henry the tramp on his way out in the big world...

 

[Spudlet]

Don't worry too much, I'd have to get a crowbar to get him off the sofa first...

 

[Chestnuttymare]

Yay, great result. Did Cayla do it or did she tell you what to do to retrain her?
