Some videos of Harvey's weekend

[Patches]

We've had a lovely weekend. I adore my puppy so much.

Playing with Bess, our working Collie on the small lawn.

A short walk this morning up the farm track.

A cheating game of "hide and seek". I did shout a bit for him as I don't think Hannah heard me the first time (she was holding him up an alleyway out of site). I let him find me as I didn't want him going the wrong way. No point making it too difficult at his age. It's more a test of recall than search skills.

Some pics of him and Bess.

Still makes me laugh that someone asked me what Bess was and said "I think she's got a bit of collie in her, don't you?"

After the end of a busy weekend, this is why he's flaked out.

Aw, what a busy weekend, glad you're having fun with hide and seek and the 'catch and release' system

I realise you're not supposed to shout so much for them, but I just like the fact that he hears me call him and wants to come to me for his chicken. We've established chicken is his favourite food.

Infact, I'm thinking I might struggle with recall at Dogskool...not for any other reason than he won't leave my side when he knows I have treats!

We've been using the "wait" command to help with toys now. I will ask him to sit and wait and through a toy. He doesn't get the "get on" command until after the toy has landed. It's all good practice.

Oh bless her little heart.

I must admit, when I was playing them for Mary last night Harvey looked awfully confused.

Harvey is just soooooooooo cute and reminds me so much of when Sweep was a puppy.
