It is great when you can get a dog really focused on work so he forgets everything around him. The more you work him around other dogs, the more he...
It sounds as though you have been really lucky or, as you say, your handling of the dogs has made a real difference. My experience with the...

Well you can't have Zak, cos I love him too much ;-) :005: :005: :005:

A tennis ball war?? Ooh what have I missed?! That one must have totally passed me by :lol: I also used to have an Orbee ball, which I really...
