Well today David and Thomas took Charlie for a lovely long walk and Thomas cycled. They decided to give Charlie a chance off lead, Thomas cycled about 100 meters and recalled Charlie with his whistle, off he shot straight to him for lovely hot dog, then back to David's recall they did a few of these and Charlie had a great time and had a lovely run, back on lead but a positive experience and lovely to trust our boy even for a short while xx
Re: A Little Off Lead That sounds brilliant - just the job! I bet Charlie was really excited to race back to Thomas So sensible of them to keep it short and put him back on lead while they were still succeeding too!
Re: A Little Off Lead Great news, it's exactly this sort of success you deserve and have trained for. Well done.
Re: A Little Off Lead Wow Charlie has done so well today Helen. These little steps of success will all add up eventually. Keep it up Charlie. ;D
Re: A Little Off Lead Thank you, we are of course not counting our chickens just yet, but a small step it was. As I always like to say "progress is progress" xxx
Re: A Little Off Lead Brilliant! I don't know about small steps, 100m sounds like quite a long way, so pleased for you, have been following Charlies progress with interest, and it seems to me that you and partner are the best possible trainers for Charlie
Re: A Little Off Lead [quote author=Beanwood link=topic=5773.msg74082#msg74082 date=1399321694] Brilliant! I don't know about small steps, 100m sounds like quite a long way, so pleased for you, have been following Charlies progress with interest, and it seems to me that you and partner are the best possible trainers for Charlie [/quote] Thanks Kate, I suppose 100m is quite a long way but we have to trust him as his recall has gone from zero to not bad at all, we will take it slowly and build it up in areas of our walks we can manage. Today no wildlife so it may well be a different story on a different day we'll see. We really need to get the stop whistle rock solid which is really taking a long time x
Re: A Little Off Lead He's coming on so well! As said up there, lovely for something positive. if you've noticed, your posts (aside trainers) are becoming more and more positive. how lovely for all this hard work to be paying off.
