well... for all you doubters out there.... we have oliver back... we have been continuing his training at home, all is going really well..

he has come back a different dog entirely, with the same character. he walks to heal, even with other dogs around, which he would not do before. the recall is bang on also.

all in all, it was money well spent in the end.. we have got the dog that we always wanted. it just goes to show that it can and does work!!!
