just back from the vets, much to my surprise jasper as lost weight he was 33 kilo in august, at the time he was on limited exercise,....he now weighs 31 .9, kilo,......the vet nurse thinks he is in tip top condition with a beautiful healthy coat,,,,, i am well made up i thought he may have been around 35 kilo
Re: the big weigh in apart from the 2 occasions he had down days, he is doing brilliant,......so may be not going to be the big boy on the block
Re: the big weigh in thanks jac,.....i am pleased with him ...i tend to only train one thing at a time,recall took hell of a long time, we got there in the end,...i am teaching him to go on the mat and stay on it until i give him the command to come off......he is doing well with this, new mat bought yesterday after he chewed the other one ........i like him to perfect each task before moving on to something else i don't want to mash his brain up
Re: the big weigh in Lynne you do right not to try and teach too much at once , I did the same with Sam and am currently doing the same with Millie, its far better to have one thing bomb proof than several that are not Well done re the weight , it will all help his limp so much
Re: the big weigh in i am lucky kate re the weight, he is not food motivated,he must be one of the few labs that is not greedy i feel the same about training kate, i just want an obedient boy,....when we are out on walks he never goes over to people or chases bikes kids ect,...the recall is almost 100%, recall for me is the most important one, having a fear of dogs i would freak if another dog was to attack him. it also for his safety got to work on the mat training one step at a time
