Another small Fada update.

The boy is well, but very willful.I think he realises his feet are well and truly under the table.He had taken to sneakily sleeping on the settee,have stopped that by propping up the cushions!! I have been walking him ,recently,due to JBC's indisposition following his op. He is like a steam train!! Not helped by being walked on the dreaded extending lead which I've put away.I am doing an intensive course to try and get him to walk to heel.Not easy as he does not want to take a blind bit of notice of me, being much more interested in the bloody ducks and Moorhens.He does get better,the further into the walk we get, but it is very wearing.I'm hoping that a few weeks of this,I don't expect fast results,will be worth the effort. Apart from this he is still a joy, and such fun especially with his "NEW" rubber chicken which he adores.

Thanks for he update - he's obviously very happy there.

Don't know much about dog training, but my friend who does, swears by the use of a HALTY rather than a lead.

Good luck with him

Yep my collie had a halty and it worked well.

Used a Halti on our Border Terrier and it made not the slightest difference.so different dogs, different strokes as it were!!

look up training your dog to heel on Google.Lots of help and videos.Used the treat method with our rescued 4yrs old Beauceron.Only did 10 minute sessions twice a day in our garden.This was after she mastered sit and stay.Takes lots of patience.Lovely to hear news of Fada.Good Luck
