Aaaawwww Aitch,

She is a little darling . . . . . and she is soooooo good with her recall . . . .

x x x x

If you keep up these cute pics, I will be in danger of looking at GSDs as my future dog . She is a little heartbreaker and just loves her mum to bits

Lovely pictures Helena and what a good girl she is!

Lovely - well done Zena again - and you too.

Love her ears at the mo - she is so beautiful H - a real cutie and such a clever girl.

On the reward front - at this stage I would reward everytime - in fact for recalls I always do even now - unless I have been kept waiting too long (Charlie English setter if you are reading this - take note!) - I only change the value / amount so its a guessing game as to what they get sometimes its a piece of chicken others a dry biscuit - sometimes both together

Keep those pics coming and keep up the good work - you are doing a cracking job!

Thanks Kirsty, she loves everyone and their dogs! Plus, she didn't jump up ONCE this morning at anyone either, she sat when they asked, so she got her treat She has been naughty this morning though, she's just been digging up my turf around one of the trees! Arggggh, I used my gruff voice to stop her, and now she's moved on to a bit of turf!!! Georgie's told her off too coz she hurt him, so he's sitting on the top step watching her every move but he won't play with her until she apologises..... might take a while hey!!!!

Thanks Mel, and yes looking at that pic she's not far off that collie is she! She's off her food at the moment though, until she gets half way through, so I'm doing the hand feeding bit, as yer do, to get her interested! I made a big mistake Sunday and gave her a tiny little bit of human food coz Georgie had a bit! BIG mistake!!!

She sure is Shane, and I love her lotsxxxxxxxxx

Thanks Lorna, just how many dogs are you planning on then???? I think she does love me now don't you!!!

Thanks Anne, she's eager to please..... but then she is naughty sometimes, not a lot, but she is!

Thanks for all that advice Rachel, much appreciated, I need all the help I can get as you can imagine!!! I take the tiny little puppy treats, I have them in all pockets in all jackets at the moment, plus dotted around the house, they're soooo tiny, but when she comes bounding in from the garden coz I've hidden myself somewhere, then she gets a puppy markie coz they're bigger, plus coz I love her sooooo!!! Trouble is, she isn't interested in the treats when we're out, even when she's come storming back to me, so she gets lots and lots of praise and fuss and kisses and she prefers them anyways! I do try with the treats, but she only takes them off other people when she's sat in front of them! She's certainly a quick learner coz Sunday morning she was jumping up at everyone, but persistence has now paid off, she doesn't even do it to Dave coz I've schooled him into what to do and say to her, because she doesn't understand his full sentences.... yet!!! LOl! Thanks RAchel, she is a beauty isn't she

i love the way her ears kind of come together when she is running - thats so cute she looks like she has one big ear LOL!!!

Zena is doing so well and loving the pictures of her.

yes your doing really well with her ,isnt she pretty ,love the standing up ears x

Great to see her out and enjoying herself H but how big she is now!
