Evening/Morning all,
Sorry I've not been around, I've been indulging myself in other forums that I forget which ones I'm joined to.
Things are going brilliantly, I went up there today and we went to the beach, and it was brilliant fun!
I bought him a Gentle Leader head-collar a couple of days ago and used it on him today and it was fantastic! So fantastic that me and Maggie (his foster parent) were fighting over who walks him there and back whereas we'd of once complained when it was time for 'walkies'
So alls well, infact as our training is coming on so well, we've read that changing a dogs name after having 'possibly' a bad start, it gives them a new start. So his new name is Duke now, he seems to be getting used to it.
And I'm going to soon register him to the Activity register on the KC so we can enter certain shows when we get to that stage as I have no paper work on him.
So things are looking up, the GL we've started using is a brilliant training aid for all the problems we've experienced so it doesn't just help with walking on the lead.
Thanks everyone for your concerns, me and his foster parents are really great friends now and so far, so good.
