His trainer, Elin, came over last week and we took Harley into town. He was really good, quite confident, BUT kept sniffing every lampost, shop corner and the pavement if there was anything vaguely edible around. So now I have to work on keeping his head up but she was really pleased with him and next time she does a home visit we'll take him somewhere busier.
His only fault in the house continues to be his toileting habits. He doesn't seem to care where he toilets and makes no attempt to head for the door. Grrrr! Really rather frustrating because his sister, Izzy, has never had ONE accident in the house.
Harley has also learned how to jump up on to the sofa and when I tell him to get off he just looks at me, closes his eyes and settles down to sleep. I then lift him off and he jumps back up. This little game continues until I put him out of the room. When I let him in again he settles on the floor - until he thinks I'm not looking then he sneaks back onto the sofa again.
He's still growing at a rate of knots and is as big a Zola now who is 4. He weighs just over 9 kilos and Elin told me to increase his food as he is a bit skinny.
Here is Harley on right with his mum Ginny and sister Olga.

He went to Chalgrove Fun Dog Show with me on Saturday and was very well behaved but didn't win any rosettes - unlike his mum, Ginny, who not only won "Prettiest Bitch" but went on to win "Best in Show"! Oh well, better luck next time Harley...
