Charlie
I’m Homed
Charlie was introduced to a small dog today & a small child in a pushchair & bless him he was perfectly well mannered with both. He is only reactive to small dogs when they are walking away from him and usually when they are a few yards ahead. Up close & personal he is fine. We have introduced the "Dogmatic" headcollar which keeps him focused on where he is going. I've used it before with other breeds & can honestly say it's the best headcollar on the market, because it actually works!! Doesn't rub, doesn't ride up & gives gentle control. The look on his face the first time we tried it when he's like "Wanna chase, wanna chase, oh ok perhaps I don't then!!" For anyone out there with a strong hound of any breed, worth a try. Bless him he is a real sweetheart & the more he settles in with us the more his personality is starting to come out. His head is in the fridge every time the door opens and bin raiding is fast becoming a fun pasttime, which even the incredibly aloof Misty Moo is joing in with! It is actually funny seeing two waggy bums in the air with heads vanished in the bin & then both pretending it wasn't them when caught out. I thought Misty was going to be a good influence.......!

Hi Ted, I know Gordon will make you proud of him...it's early days and I am sure as you get to know each other over the next few weeks training will become easier. It is a lovely feeling when you ask them to do something and they do it! Kate Xxx

Gordon

Gordon has been with me since Tuesday, and continues to settle into the house. Here he is well behaved. We went to the training at Maypole this morning. Many thanks to Sam for help with getting Gordon into the car! His suggestion turned out to be spot on. Gordon wasn't really involved in the training today, and I'm not sure how he is going to get on. I find that I've become emotionally attached to Gordon, and like any good parent, I want him to do well and be well behaved, there may be a long road ahead! Ted.

Hi Kate. It's just to say that my French is really rubbish but honestly didn't look it up. And sorry for the bad French and that I missed the accents etc but really don't know how to do that with my UK keyboard. Just to add now - if anyone can tell me how to do that, I'd be really grateful xxx

Hi Jeff. I often sit on the floor with our dogs. Daisy the Labrador really likes to snuggle up that way and Surprise the grey loves to lay her head on a lap. It's just lovely watching them xx
