For those of you that don't know, her reluctance to hold had been a bit of a stalling point in her training but now, fingers crossed, we've beaten that. Whoop whoop, toot toot and hurrah.
It was an interesting hurdle to come across, especially as we were told vaguely when we got Storm that she wouldn't make a gundog. So, when the hold issue appeared, we thought we'd found the problem. We might not have of course, the problem could still be waiting around the corner and this was just Storm throwing us a little curveball to check us out.
However, with patience, we're moving on. Sarah is very keen to keep training fun for Storm - she's got a sense that my gorgeous girl might have been pushed a bit too quickly and stopped enjoying herself. Then, like a child in a lesson with a dull and monotonous teacher, Storm just stopped listening. But I can't be anything but happy about that because if she'd behaved perfectly way back then, then she never would have been rehomed, I would still be dogless and this story of ours would never have started.
