Ice creams in the sun

Ready for training

 Yes it has been a lovely spring day again today, well it has been all week really. Today BST swung into action and the clocks went forward an hour-Yes the bad one lol!!

We have had a really good training session today-recall class and Bella continues to do really well and the improvement with each week is really showing now and she is much more reliable to come on command.

After our training we went on the social walk and this time we have changed venues and the walk is along the Basingstoke Canal so a great oppertunity  for the dogs to cool off in the water. Madam reagle pants had none of it though and still only went out to her ankles!!

We noticed today just how much Bell has calmed down in the company of other dogs.
Where as once upon a time it was a baying howling bouncing beagle hell bent on getting to the dog in the distance and on getting near by she would go very submissive and often wet herself.

Now she spots another dog and its like "yeah theres another dog, i'll wander over maybe" and on meeting them she sits or greets them but no more submissive behaviour. We also said she gets on with either sex of dog. She def has a soft spot for Hades at training as she is always beside him on the walks and she gets on really well with other bitches too. All in all she is a laid back pupster who likes anyone.

Once the walk was over we stopped at the cafe in the park and got an ice cream each, this is Bella's first encounter with an ice cream and omg did she love it!! First of all she was like, mm whats this, tastes nice, but its cold (I swear she got brain freeze!!) and got it all over her chops :O)

Recalling from distractions

We were out the house for 4 hours today and bell is now sparko in bed, me and Keith are struggling to stay awake too lol!! Fresh air and sunshine = worn out peeps. But it was a really nice day. x
