To be fair i got him at 15 months he is my first dog and he's always been the same but has shown improvements, when I put a post on here about a collar people were very quick to judge which put me off, however I have ha him now for about 6 month and it's not long but iv learnt alot but still loads I need to no, if I could sort out the hunting up and recall he would be an awesome dog, lots of folk say get rid an start fresh but I'm to stubborn to give up and I like him... A dog isn't just for x mas lol.
