No sense of humour?

Some people have been trying to make me feel bad, by telling me off for training Dave over jumps at 4 months old.

Just for the record. this was a one off bit of fun to see what he did, and I am not training a 4 month old pup full on agility just yet. I always admit to being able to learn more, but I have owned dogs for 25 years and am not stupid.

Incidently, earlier the same morning whilst we were out for our walk, Dave was running around like a nutter, having fun with Lily and jumped over a branch across the path, a ditch and at one point jumped over Lily as she moved across his line. It is natural for dogs to jump, and he isn't going to do any more damage jumping a small cross pole, 3 times than he is jumping any other obstacle he comes across.

Perhaps I shouldn't take him for walks off the lead until he is a year old? FFS!!!!!!!!

Daves a quick learner!

Midweek and not much going on at work. Loads to do for our agility equipment though so will be busy painting soon. More orders come in which is really exciting.Lily did some good grid work last night but she is overweight slightly and it shows in her fitness. Have decided to take them off CSJ food as the last batch was totally different, and its definitely put weight on them all and made them poo loads!! Am now feeding half raw diet to see how we get on.

Dave was getting very excited watching Lily & Olli training in the garden so we put the jumps really low and thought we'd try him out. What a natural;!!! He is just 4 months old but so keen and so easy to train. I think we have a star in the making. There is a lot to be said for bold, excitable dogs. They may need a lot of time put in but they make amazing workers if you channel it right. Dave is proving to be very clever, and loves pleasing us with his work.

Off to look at a caravan on Friday as we have so many weekend shows coming up. How exciting!!
