Andi, 'Manda and Josh Beazeley - Leicester - 14th June 2009
Hi Nij,
Just wanted to give you an update on Fletchers excellent progress and to thank you for your expert tuition and guidance. We now have a very different dog to the one we rescued just over a year ago. He now knows his place in our pack and is much more sociable with other dogs. Walks have become a pleasure instead of an arm wrenching, joint busting, stomach churning chore and Fletcher is now off the lead for at least 50% of his walks. As you know he has a strong chase instinct. Squirrels and rabbits still hold a big fascination to him. But now he observes them in silence and will generally just stand and watch-sometimes whilst off the lead. We can also take him on holidays and for walks further afield as he now willingly gets into the car and travels without trouble.
Working with you has been a fascinating insight into the mind of a dog. (and perhaps, more importantly, the minds of it's owners!). We have become much better equipped to be good pack leaders. The attached pictures show situations we could never have imagined Fletcher in a few months ago.
