This morning i had the worst walk ever with Obi 
. It seems that he has decided that now he is a big boy (having turned one year) and that he doesn't need an owner any more! From the moment I left him off the lead I knew he wasn't listening to me. He zoomed off to the other side of the open common land after another dog and refused to come back, even when I whistled. It took me an age to catch up with him and just as I was about to get hold of his collar he did it again! He ignored all calls, whistles and treats. Wouldn't even turn his head to look at me! When I finally caught up with him again he went on the lead...we then had the most frustrating walk as he pulled and pulled. About 15mins later when there were less dogs about I tried him off lead again. I saw a dog in the very far distance so i recalled him to put him back on the lead. Zoom, off he went again! Finally got him back, gave up and went home His meds have dropped again in the last few days so is the "real" Obi coming through now. If so I have some major training to get back to!
