so she is in boot camp after showing everyone just how free spirited - aka naughty, she can be this weekend. This was highlighted to me with so many very well behaved doggies for all to see so whistle out of moth balls and have been taking Petra's top tips on board - things seem to be going quite well.
took her across the field and let her run about for 5 mins then three pips on the whistle as we have been doing in the house and BINGO she only blinkin well came back - one pip for a sit and a treat one proud mummy
tried it a few time more on our walk and hey presto she came back over and over again
we only fell down a bit when we came to the gate where i put her lead back on then she beacame a bit deaf so will try and walk another way tomorrow and put her back on the lead in a different place
after all that she walked wonderfully back home and even sat quietly when i popped into the pup on the way back for a quick totty
so day 2 of boot camp - pretty good

Ruby was very good at the weekend, it was only one time and that was to find her Dad (who happened to be in the food tent), it was to be expected it was very very tempting for her, I thought her recall was fantastic, much better than Ruf
