    Well there's been lots of animal and bird training for Charlie over the past couple of weeks. A baby Crow on the track and a very large brown Owl. This morning as we walked past a lovely house that has rare breed Pigs, Chickens, Horses and Cows with Calves poking their heads through to see Charlie who behaved beautifully :)

    They have introduced a baby Peacock, as you can imagine having never seen one before Charlie was interested, he lunged once but settled down quickly to watch this beautiful Peacock fly from the field into the pen with the Chickens. A lovely treat to see this beautiful bird :)

    Phew lots of animal/bird proofing which is great! :) xx

    I will never forget the time when we parked the car to visit some stately home and a black Lab jumped out of a nearby car, saw a Peacock and was off into the far distance:D. I was thankful it wasn't mine but did feel very much for the owners.

    Well done @charlie and to Charlie himself for show such good controlley around a new sight in the neighbourhood. It'sounds so good to see all the training paying dividends. :)

    Today Boris came across some small fledglings in the grass. He found them before I realised what was going on. I saw him with one in his mouth and yelled drop ! Leave ! And here ! And to my surprise he obeyed all three, with no returning to find them again.
