Good luck MC - hope everything went well

Glad everything went well MC and Fern behaved himself

I remember taking Sabre to a training school when he was young and we all had to walk round in a circle and a Corgi snapped at him and the big wimp broke free and went and hid under a chair - and it was an hell of a job to get him out again too On our second session he got out the car through one door and pulled me round and jumped in the other side - he didn't enjoy it at all at first

Thanks guys for your kind comments.

Although I wonder what on earth happened because Fern has been a right pain in the behind today - he wouldn't LISTEN to a single command when I took him to the park today - I spent 30 minutes, yes 30 minutes trying to offer him treats to get him to return to me, and he wasn't having any of it - afterall the man blowing the leaves off the path was far more interesting than a mere treat

I swear I did everything by the book, no chasing, or yelling but bribery and it just didn't work ARGHHHHHH, and he's been a total nightmare tonight as well!!!!!

So I'm treating myself to a glass of red wine just to escape the dog who left his ears behind at the vets!!!

Foxy, your Sabre sounded like an angel, I swear I would give anything just to see Fern frightened of one damn thing.....but noooooo he thinks he can control the world I tell you we have good days and days where we just want to tear our hair out... today was one of them...

Bring on the wine
