We had a good morning, the weather stayed dry which always makes it a good morning.

Special mention has to go to Judi & Polly the spaniel cross.  Polly came to us with some odd habits, she would run off following a scent, run the same path around and around the garden and if taken to a tennis court she would follow the white lines for hours if allowed. 

In the first few weeks Polly rarely interacted with the other dogs, choosing instead to look for birds, trains or anything except at Judi or the other dogs.  Over the past couple of weeks Polly has become more and more interested in the other dogs and yesterday she was actively seking out play and running with them but most importantly she was coming back to Judi when she called her.  Well done to Judi and Polly.

Our assessment yesterday was a gorgeous American Bulldog named Lola.  She had come from a rescue centre about 2 months ago and the owners had contacted me as she was showing aggression to other dogs and people.  Of course I was expecting a huge hunk of angry but what met me was a beautfiul young dog who wanted to play and play.  She had a great morning with us and I am sure her happy owners took home a sleepy, happy hound.
