Bob is progressing well now despite having been the most tiring puppy I have ever had.   He trains, with Viv Wells at Devondogs at the moment and also attends Doggy Play Days there once a week.   He now is not nearly as distracted when walking around at shows but needs a lot more distraction training when working off lead if other dogs are around.  He is progressing well in the Recallers 3.0 games.  We played motivational hand touches this morning and he did very well.  Today I was cleaning out the garden shed and got out my old collapsible tunnel (chute).  This is difficult to train when you are on your own with no one to hold up the far end.  However I managed to prop the far end up with an arch and after two or three goes he was running straight through it.   Will progress on to not propping up the end soon.   His random sits and downs are good and he will now sit to the word even if I am flat on the floor next to him or standing on a table.  He's just so cute.

Bob won his first two rosettes today at the fun dog show.  He had to find three dog biscuits under some bushes and managed that okay, then in the fun dog Olympics, running up some poles, kicking a ball (me) and then back down, came 3rd.
