Dodger passed

Dodger performed beautifully tonight and has passed his Puppy Foundation - we even got presented with a certificate.

In a few weeks we'll be starting the bronze award, although our trainer is going to email me a list of the things he will be learning so we can practice in the meantime whilst we wait for the next course.

Tummy wise, he's back to normal pretty much, so we've started adding his own food back in. He's much happier now he's eating biscuits, tomorrow going to start adding a little meat in too.

Dodger constantly runs when we're in the New Forest and then gets to a short distance and turns round to check where we are. His recall at the moment when we're out is great, although I'll keep practising it as he'll soon be entering adolescence I believe and it may be somewhat trickier then. Taking all the tips in and storing them for the future though - just in case.
