Lucy has enjoyed the freedom the new fencing has given her. Although I am working on a “new trick” with her to make sure she comes quickly when called. I pulled out the old Bobby’s whistle I’d used to train Malcolm for his role as Bullseye in 4 productions of Oliver!

I started by blowing it and treating her immediately when she heard the whistle. Then I took her outside off lead. I’d blow the whistle and when she came (which she did right away) I’d treat her again. Did this all morning.

I’ll probably have to refresh this each day for awhile until, for her, it becomes second nature to come running at the sound of the whistle. It is for her protection and for my peace of mind.

Once again she wore herself out running around the yard.
