    I feel so proud of Nelly (and me!) as we have overcome so many things recently. I am now truly seeing her potential and how life will really be like with Nelly in it. She has had no accidents in the house for what seems like forever now! She sleeps from 10:30 ish to 8 am!!! She is becoming so much more confident with other dogs and is now brilliant off the lead almost all the time. Her recall on the whole is continuing to impress me and her fetch is faultless each time- straight to my feet. I can now really see how she thinks before doing something cheeky, she chooses to sit rather than jump up at people and has totally swapped biting with kissing! She is a star and such a joy. Not sure if it has worked but hopefully there are a few pictures to follow. [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Lovely girl :heart:

    It's the best feeling in the world when they start to grow up and become the dog they are going to be :D
