Blimey!

Well, we really seem to be getting somewhere on the gundog training front and after lots of work on the stop whistle Jet finally seems to understand that it means 'stop where you are' rather than 'come back to me and then stop'!! (Bless). On this afternoon's walk, even though he'd locked on to a large, fast moving white object that was flying across the field (turned out to be a plastic bag..!), he remained in the sit after I blew the whistle like a clever boy! :) I also managed to stop him at a distance of about 15 metres, used the hand signal for 'lie down'...........and he did!!!!!! Hurrah! (Then he was naughty and ran through the hedge to get to his friend the GSP bitch who was in the field next door...but we'll over look that!).
