This evening Millie and I got to Lingfield about an hour early to go for a walk before dog training.
To start with we went around the housing estate. We then went back in the opposite direction through the churchyard and in a circle back to where we started. We still had time so we went to go through the churchyard again and go the other way back up the road when we met Hal and his owner, who we go dog training with. He said he'd come on a walk with us so we decided to go through the field. I let Millie off her lead and she had a lovely run with Hal. We saw one other dog and when Millie say it she turned around and came back to me! She was such a good girl and had a fantastic time!
In the classes we first did send aways. Millie was a bit distracted but did do it. Then Barry asked us to demonstrate some tricks. We showed and explained to the rest of the class what to do and then carried on doing them when everyone else came up so they could watch us if they got stuck! There's a young girl with a little dog there and a lady in the competition class told me I should tell her what to do. I left went over to help the girl and Millie stayed sitting perfectly off the lead on her own. And a bonus - the little dog actually managed to do the trick! She did the stays perfectly too!
