Kismet Scare... Recall test!

I have workmen in and out of the house at the moment and a stir crazy Kismet as you know...

Well...

I thought's she'd been quiet for a while, pottering about in the garden. So I wandered out to see she was ok... No Kismet...

Garage door open, garage front open! Kismet was nowhere in sight..

I of course run straight off down the road.

"KISMET!"

There are a group of tracksuited lads over the road. They point into a nearby garden "You looking for a dog?" They shout... Then I see her... She sees me.. She's the other side of the road!

"WAIT!" - She stops... "SIT!" She sits...

I look both ways, cross the road, then call her.. She races straight to me and sits in the smartest recall you have ever seen!

What a lucky escape!

The nice Karate club lads were keeping an eye on her and trying to catch her and the road she had crossed is part of the housing estate and not busy.. Lucky she went that way into the quiet estate and not the other way on to the main road!

I'm still shaking!

But so glad I have been drilling her with distance commands and recall!

oh wow it really does sound as if your doing lots of work on recalls and distance learning. i think its a very smart thing to do, im trying this with my pup and she is doing well with it.

glad she made it home safe and sound.

thank heaven for the happy ending ! Your poor nerves *hugs*

I have been using training to wear her out as we can't walk as normal.. So glad some of has been sinking into that stubborn Huskamute head of hers!

Hope your nerves are settling. But well done kismet

Poor you, you must be/have been a wreck, still must make you feel good that all the training is paying off. Well done you and Kismet!

Well done Kismet, what a relief to have her back safe and sound.

I bet your blood ran cold when you realised she was out

What a clever girl waiting and recalling and well done you for staying calm.

Now go pour yourself a stiff drink and dont think what if x

Clever girl Kismet ;o)

Well done Mags xx
