    ElB, 50ft is way way too long...10 to 20 feet more than enough...better still just a lead with her walking beside you...lots of pats, sits, praise etc...I look forward to meeting the little one!!

    Praise and pats on the lead will not achieve anything... not a single thing, nothing zip nada... Seriously... nothing... you trying to make a dog "like" you???.... forget it, it's a dog, it will, ultimately, handled right, like being with you.... making it "like" you will require you give it a brain transplant and make it human. You can make it hate you, but I think we're all above that here, you can;t make it like you by going cooey and lovey dovey... it's a dog..

    50ft???, depends on the skill of the handler.... 10 - 20 feet ... complete waste of time and rope.but please expand on your intimate knowledge of the techniques I prescribe.... reckon I got across a bit more in a fantastic conversation and met both Inti and Felcher today at the shop... Reckon Brian has a handle on it.

    seeing as you KNOW everything, please tell me where I wrote ANYTHING about wanting the dog to like the person...the puppy is afterall a puppy and needs to form a connection, confidence and trust in the handler/owner...its a dog...get you!!!!

    today I ran Failte on a short lead , she is now answering a whistle and her name and turning on the whistle FRICKEN WOW!! 2weeks in and were on the road already and not pissing off .Tjhe connection to owner is very important and cuddles and love of the pooch endears the pooch to you .I had Failte sleep on the bed one night and she loved it -sooo excited jumping around the room from bedo to floor -around the room and onto the bed again .I think I have a well breed intelligent young bitch and look forward to her understanding that the pheasant is what it is all about and not those shitty little sparrows
    Tweed or not to Tweed that is the question
