Training update

 It is now about 10 weeks since we added Bailey to the team and he has proven to be a great addition. In the gallery he settles down with Zeta quietly in the basket in front of the fire (after a good morning walk of course). Some customers don't even notice them which is a good sign. Other training is progressing well but as yet he still operates on a lead. Now is not the time to have a wild hound heading off over the skyline especially with new lambs and ground nesting birds in the vicinity. We have moved up to a longer "training lead" which I use to give Bailey practise in Recall. I'm pretty sure his former life meant that he had restricted socialising with other dogs and humans so he does get extremely excited at times but he is calming down-slightly- as the weeks pass.

His sit and stay is excellent, here he and Zeta are about 20m from me where they will wait until called. More updates will follow.
