Great news that Sam is getting it now, well done you!

If he is sleeping and starts moving like that it is just a dream just leave him he might be on a rabbit chase and really enjoying himself! Nothing to worry about at all.

This has proved to be invaluable a couple of times when I've accidentally dropped the lead while out with her when she was smaller and I'd tripped or got in a muddle with bags and lead etc. No fear of her running off at all! As soon as the handle hits the ground she freezes!
thanks.
thats what i did i walked him up and down the house on the lead, then went out with him late on so no one was around,he did well

It is a great feeling when they are really getting it, and you start to see all that time and patience paying off.

One of my old dogs was a black lab cross and I could not see her in the dark at all so got one for night time walks and it worked a treat.
