Apologies for quoting myself:D

I'm also assuming that he knows "fetch" and to bring the ball back for a reward? If not try in smaller area with a soft toy. Molly picked this up straight away and will bring you anything - as I mentioned before she collects the post & even parcels off the postman in his van and does "tidy up time" - not just with her toys:D:cool:
Bertie's natural instinct is not to retrieve or carry stuff in his mouth so this was much harder - he would just sit and look at me and twist his head to each side with every vocal command. Molly would intervene and fetch the toy probably thinking to herself what did they get that useless thing for! 3 months of what seemed little progress passed but he must have had a light bulb moment - he sits, stands, lies, roll over, go round, fetch, come, paw, 2paws and stay :T:T I was beginning to lose the plot but perseverance is the key.Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.

TIA.
(Those Pringles though - really been waiting ages for the 2 for £2.50 to end. Come on Mr A - get rid of it!! You know I am not buying any of them whilst it remains on, remains stubbornly on:(.)
In our Little A there was no sign of a mult on Pringles last night?
Has it come off to go back on again?

From Grabbit…
Thanks OP!!
Tesco Finest Cotes du Rousillon red wine 4 for £9!! £
Tesco Finest Cotes du Rousillon red wine - £7.99 or 2 for £8.00. Buy 4 or more Finest wines and get 20% off....so four bottles for £9.00.
Found in Tesco Extra in St Leonards
Would the PP see these as full price as it has done previously ... and are there any good matches (perhaps combined with a meal deal)?

Top dog eats first so you eat something as long as he sees that then you feed him. All bad behaviour has to ignored by everyone and you have to be consistent. Good luck.
Always praise, make a fuss when he does good

He does know "fetch", but gets bored quickly, have a ball thrower, we throw it, he runs for it, then gets sidetracked and runs another wayor gets it then drops straight away. He is better with one of his toys, if we throw he will fetch it and bring it back, doesnt always drop wants to play tug with it though.
He does sit, stand, and gives his paw.
I just cant understand why he just leaps at me, for no apparent reason, its not all the time, but would like him not to do it when he does it.0 -

Morribobs banning the use of £2 coins......
Morrisons said it will not accept £2 coins at the self-service checkouts of certain stores until an upgrade has taken place so that foreign substitute coins, which are often worth far less, can be recognised.

I note on HUKD they are saying Pringles are on offer in A at 3 for £3.
Just checked MSM and they are indeed now showing as 3 for £3.
I thought for one moment we had spotted a deal changeover glitch. Brazilian Zesty are not showing in A (OOS) which may break the multi? Ketchup are not on A but are on MSM so one to watch.
Ah well, at least we spotted the deal change - they were 2 for £2.50 last week.

Afternoon all.
I'm having a lovely afternoon, I've played hide and seek with lil stink (he's proper rubbish at it) I've ordered tickets for days out at banham zoo and dinosaur adventureland for the princely sum of £18 worth of clubcard vouchers. I've got a big fat roast chicken cooking in the oven fir tea and all I can hear is mr stink and lil stink piddling them selves laughing whilst they play snakes and ladders.
Music to my ears
Big hugs logie- hope you don't have to wait too long for another test. XLife is not about learning to avoid the storms - it's about learning to dance in the rain.0
