My grandson and his girlfriend have just had an addition to the family. An 8 week old cocker spaniel called Archie.

If he she is as boisterous as Alfie the four legged devil there in for an interesting time.

There vocabulary is likely to consist of
Down
Stop
Shut up
Bring my slippers back.

The positive bits He goes to the door when he needs a pee or something more solid.

It was about at eight months before I started training Sally Fortunately she was a quick learner..

Alfie will sit on command.

Cockers like other working breeds are ver quick and eager to learn. As long as there are rewards to be had. Perseverance is the key.
Our Collie who is now 13 still loves to do her tricks and learn new things.

Mr WD has got my washing machine working again. He thinks the door lock is sticking so will do something with it when the washing is finished. And he thinks the leak is from the filter at the bottom of the machine so he will do that as well. Happy days. I don't have to spend £300 plus.

See - he is useful!!!
