What's the best purchase you've ever made?

Plugging much the same. Had some great "stops" from Igor, when he is listening he is great. I've been using a flat hand with the word heel which seems to be working better with him. Tried to start teaching him "tidy" however it proved too much having more than one toy so it's going to take some work. Phoenix will show you what he is supposed to be doing, he will show you how he does it 😂 I got some good clips of them. Igors middle is still some what of a wrecking ball 😬

Quite a mixed bag. The robin invited his mate today so it was double trouble but we worked with it and managed to get him to ignore for a little while. Far to friendly for my liking it's asking to be eaten. (See video) Igor did well not to move. Did a lot of playing, searches and sending phoenix to retrieve the toys and some heel work. Igors attention was so so. If it was parents eve they would say "needs to try harder " As you can see I used my time wisely today and got the Christmas shots 😂

I don't think we've done this before which is kind of crazy. Post your puppy photos - or if you rescued your dog you can do the first day you got them. 😍

Bit of a random one today. I was out with Igor, we had just finished some training & as he was being so good I decided to loop down to the town for a walk & head back home the longer way & tackle some work in the church yard too as we cut through it on the way back. I heard a truck come passed & then it turned round & came back. He proceeded to stop, turn off his truck & ask me if i would stud my dog out. Without being too stereotypical they are known people in our area who probably wouldn't even know my dog breed it's just £££ to them & it wouldn't be unheard off for certain ones to just steal people's dogs. I was a bit caught off guard & I just said unfortunately I don't partake in back yard breeding & he would be of no use as he has no nuts. Fortunately he left it at that & went on his way.I knew my other half was out with phoenix so I called him & the same guy had just driven past him looking at phoenix however when I told him what happened he said "yeah he ain't gonna stop me he knows I'm police". It makes me feel uneasy & it really grips my shit that people are still able to just breed dogs so willy nilly. Hopefully that's the end of it but it does make me worry when people are overly interested. Anyway rant over, training has been good. Igor has actually been less of a yob which is always a welcome relief.
