We took Beau for his first ride in the car for his first walk in the woods yesterday. He handled both really well, settling in the car almost immediately then being absolutely fascinated by being properly outside. Jack (our older dog) even tried to initiate play, but due to Beau's lack of recall he was on his long lead so it didn't really happen. We will be working very hard on the recall so he can be allowed off lead for running fun. A fenced doggy paddock will be hired this week to allow for off lead time and further recall work.

We had our little grand daughter to stay for the weekend as well. Beau was brilliant with her and very careful when around her. He was so good we decided he must have been around children in one of his previous 'homes'. Still work to do to stop begging (and potentially stealing) food from her but a great start.

Currently both dogs at my feet in the office. Beau now has the run of the house like Jack.
