Hi ladies

Just letting you know what l have done today.

1/ l walked the 3 dogs separately and did some recall and sits with them. In fact before they each got out for a walk,l decided that they would have to be calm and sit for me to put the leads on. Schmoo was the hardest. He knows how to sit but he doesn't like to sit and have the halti put on him. Scamper also took one look at the halti and did a runner but l encouraged him to come back. I also made them wait back till l opened the door and went out and then called them out. I did this on the way back as well.

2/. When the little ones jumped up for attention l pushed them down and said off! It was hard.

3/. When l was sitting at my computer and they wanted to jump up on my knee. I ignored them. A minute later l called them to me and picked them up - so it was sort of on my terms.

Tonight is the real test. Weather is horrible, windy and cold. I have already told my hubby that he is not to complain if they play up as that will just encourage them to carry on. He thinks l wont be able to resist the whining but l have a plan. I am going to bed half an hour before he does and he can put the dogs on the floor. Hopefully l will be asleep before the crying begins!!!

Will let you know how it goes tomorrow x Kittysoo
