Things coming together nicely

I've got my self collie x whippet x saluki pup he's 12 weeks old. Since I got him I started the training sit, stay, recall and retrieve.  been doing some off lead walks lately(I have to bite the bullet one day and to be fair his recall is alot better than most of the adult dogs we come across while out and about) anyway we was out walking with the kids and he's about 30 odd feet away and I see another dog approaching so called his name to get his attention and then raised my hand for the sit command without saying the word sit and he did it straight away! I was well over the moon I know it probably doesn't sound that exciting but it was a really good moment that all the work I'm putting in is paying off. Sorry to bore people with it but I don't have anyone else who has dogs that would share my happiness lol

Well played mate, it's great when the effort you put in pays off.

You only get out of them what you put in...

Nice one mate, I got a half collie pup, 10 month, he's a fukcing Heller but as he gets older it's all coming together, just passed loads of people on bikes and dogs, called him in, heel, spot on, off the lead. 

Enjoy your pup mate .

Cheers, D
