I took Millie for another walk yesterday, when I first got there I was greeted by a cowering dog and a growl
I think she is a little worried she might be taken back to the kennels, as the last people who rehomed her form the kennels took her back after a week or so
I took my lunge rein to give her more freedom and to check her recall and we were out for about an hour exploring.
She is a lovely girl, comes to a whistle and sometimes to her name (I think she is getting used to it) she waits for you to catch up and always stays close, I think she is going to be great off the lead, but we need to make sure her recall is 100% as she loves to chase cats and squirrels!
We had a slight altercation with another dog who was aggressive on the lead (she retaliated but didn't start it) but it was only some grumbling, she has been fine with every other dog we have met.
She really has changed my mind about Labs, I always thought I wouldn't own one but now I am starting to change my mind!
We had a game of fetch with a stick when out walking, and a lovely game of fetch with a tennis ball in the garden when we got home, until I got bored, she is quite happy to constantly bring it back to you.
