Grabbed a lead for Thomas that just happened to have a whistle on, I tried but failed to get Dudley to come to one, and thought I'd give it a blow and see what Thomas' reaction would be. Well in one session Tom now comes to the whistle even when distracted which is something Dudley has absolutley refused to do even with juiciest treats. Just shows the difference between terriers and all other dogs I suppose!

Tom starts training at Sevenoaks tonight and although he will be slightly ahead of most of the other new starters I'm looking forward to it as we will be doing lots of targeting and sending on stuff which we really enjoy and he will be among new dogs which is another bonus as it's more things for him to get used to.
