We are just back from our morning walk (although to be frank everything is a training session!) and we had a really sweet moment when Cassie hopped up on to a little stump that I sometimes but not very often use for boundary/agility games. So I gave her lots of fuss and a reward, chuckled at her and said "come on then, lets go", which means she can have free play. But no, she just sat there looking earnestly from my hand to my face and back again, with that look on her face that means she's thinking hard about something. What she wanted was for me to use handtouch to give her the "break" cue, and then she hopped off. !:love: I so love moments like that!

So we won't be mentioning this mornings fox poo incident, or yesterdays debacle with a hare that popped up in front of her! No, we''ll be keeping those things to ourselves ;)

It's the joy of +R isn't it, that it gives them the confidence to do that? I find it such a big delight, and it shows too the value of doing all these games with her in the great out doors, because honestly our walks at this time of year what be a constant battle with her hunting drive, which would be no fun at all.

Crumbs, I wish I had your relaxed attitude with regards 'fox poo incidents'. I try very hard but just find myself getting crosser and crosser. I know, totally stupid and pointless but I reckon I was out of the room when the 'calm down and go with the flow' gene was allocated :rolleyes:

More to the point, well done Cassie (y)

Believe me I'm not always! To be fair she doesn't do it very often, there is a particular part of the wood were it occurs mostly. She often rolls in otter poo, which is not a problem because the smell doesn't linger. The collie we had before, who was a real sweetie, was a shocker for it, and she was long haired too ! Maybe there are less foxes around here than there were, I think that's possible.

I really put that in as a balancer , I was brought up not to brag, so I always feel slightly uncomfy, as if I'm making her out to be wonder dog, when she's not at all!

Well done Cassie. It’s celebrating the successes and the good things and sharing the not such good things that’s important. I doubt a wonder dog exists - they all have their foibles as do we humans ;)

Homer does the look at what he wants, looks at me, then looks back with a little shake of his head. Problem is I'm a slow learner and don't always get what he wants, but he's determined to teach me one day.

I know exactly what you mean, I'm from the same background ;) Having said that, I think you have every right to brag about Cassie over this. You're both achieving a lot and she's obviously coming on brilliantly, so I say as the others have, a deserved well done (y)
