Hiya, Well as some of you know I have been planning to long rein Taffy for a while.
Last night was the night!
Result.......He was a STAR!!!! Responeded to all voice commands quickly and actively. Very clam even when faced with Killer chalk lines on the road, we just went round them onto the pavement the calmly back onto the road.
We came across a moterbike and numerous scary kids! Honestly I was so chuffed with him! What a friend of mine noticed was that when he trotted he had his head held quite high as if he had been driven.
I have pictures to come this week so you can see him in action.
Just a little question...Where do I go now? I have taken him down my street and he was fine, I'm just a little apprehensive to take him further afield. Should I gradually take him a little further? Its quite hard becasue I live in the middle of a housing estate and have to go on a pretty busy main road to get anywhere nice.
