Tilly discovered how much she enjoys swimming and chasing birds yesterday at the seafront. On our way down she pulled considerably on the lead but showed progress on the way back home. She can be let off the lead and controlled remarkably well as she responds to her name, the tone of your voice, or a whistle, consistently. She adapted extremely quickly to the instructions coming from me and didn’t stray very far at any point. I am sure that within a few days I will be able to take her out without a lead at all because she responds so well to instruction. Our only obstacle will be road safety. I like dogs to stick to my heels when crossing a busy road and she is smart enough to pick this up quickly. Tilly is toilet trained, never attempts to jump on the couch or go upstairs. She is content lying around the house or sunbathing out the back but needs to be walked every day as she is full of enthusiasm.
DSCF2744.JPGTilly is full of energy but it is easy to tire her out with a few secret tips. Because she responds so well to her name and instruction you can let her off her lead and pretend to start running, she races off for a few meters then races back to you again. She loves chasing birds and swimming too. She will happily meet other dogs, but again is not so distracted that she will ignore you, or even dawdle if you call her back. I already feel very comfortable and confidant in Tilly’s abilities.
DSCF2730.JPGwhat a beautiful girl, she looks like my last foster amber in the last photo
fingers crossed like amber she will find a loving home soon.Thanks to Ciara for doing transport and Tilly is now in foster with us and her foster brother Pete
They are still settling in together so will update when I get to know this little one a little bit more.
But true to her breed we can already see Tilly likes to burry and scurry true bushes so she will need a very secure garden to roam and play happily and safely inGetting to know this little one..so far..
Tilly is an active dog and likes to be on the move and follow her nose. She is strong on the lead but hadn’t been walked much at all on a lead previously I think there is a little improvement even in the few days but ill keep working on it with her. She knows her name and responds well and knows how to sit.
She like to be the centre of attention and everyones friend so she might suit a household where she is the only dog. She is really cute when lounging in the eves she loves being petted and when you stop she pushes her little nose under your hand and moves closer as to say why did you stop keep petting me
She is already in her routine there isn’t a noise out of her durning the night she even goes to bed herself at about 11ish how handy is that!
I will upload more pics as soon as we get our internet sorted at homeAlso see Pete her foster brother for link to them playing
Was delighted with Tilly earlier she is learning to give the paw and an improvement on the lead with her
I dont know what Tilly is like with Children but so far I dont think she would be suited to a house with young children
DSC02237.JPGHi there from the Farrell Family,
We have one of Tilly’s pups, Misty.
We cannot believe how alike they are! They even seem to be similiar in nature. We have a long way to go still with Misty training, as she is only 5 months old, but loves sitting in the sun, digging and attention too. She can jump like a rabbit! Hope Tilly gets a nice home soon, as she looks a lovely dog.
