And the winner is...

Ellie attended her last week of puppy training classes last night.

There was a small friendly competition, to see which dog had learned the best trick since the course started, six weeks ago. Each dog owner then had a vote. We're pleased to announce that Ellie walked away with the title (and the prizes), after completing her "spin" command, better than she had ever completed it before.

It almost seems like cheating -- having the only Border Collie in the class. They just seem to learn so damned quickly.

We'll now be preparing her to start the Bronze Canine Good Citizen course, as soon as possible.
