Chase Deer, Me?

After yesterday's stressful walk on the beach, owing to the compulsive seaweed eating episodes, we had a relatively calm and relaxing walk in Rosehaugh today. That is apart from the deer episode, which we won't dwell on as the tuna treats won in the end!

Earlier on in the day Bud and I went to his final training class. He is brilliant at most things, walking to heel, socialising with the other dogs (only 3, it is a very small class), " leaving" planted items of food as we walk past them, sitting etc. but he fails miserably at stopping in the middle of a recall. The idea is Bud sits and waits, I walk to the end of the hall, wait for a minute, call him and as he gets going call out " STOP" and he immediately stops and sits down. But Bud doesn't, stop that is. He just continues hurtling towards me with this big grin on his face " I'm coming, I'm coming, your lovely boy is coming" he doesn't hear the "stop" command as he is so excited that he flings himself at me, jumping up and down and yapping. Oh well, at least his recall is in no doubt!
