We do our best and that is all that anyone can really do.<br /><br />With her overly timid personality, she may not always make training as easy as it could be, but she does make it ultimately rewarding.<br /><br />Sometimes I have to remind myself that she's not even two years of age yet.<br /><br />Thanks again for the comments...The Dog Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10019682974725040724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459313292671149109.post-22781476284130799362009-04-28T00:08:00.000+01:002009-04-28T00:08:00.000+01:00I couldn't agree more.

They have been welcomed into the team partly because they're lovely people but also partly because I wanted them to be able to inspire others with their dogs - to think of their dogs more along the lines of how they think of Ellie. Ellie - you and your 'Mum and Dad' were made for each other and no home on earth is more of a perfect match for you than the one you've found...

I haven't seen her for quite a while but not a day goes by without a thought of her in some way. Today, had u of known me, and been close enough you would have seen how i struggled to stop myself bursting with pride, watching her today, still so young and yet so very very talented, i cannot tell you the feeling i got inside. They say the dog is only as good as the owner - in my opinion that could not be more true than in Ellies case, things could have been so different, she could have ended up in a home that saw her just as a cute puppy that was just there as a toy/hobby. Instead she found Maz & Jan who have worked with her, educated her, loved her & turned her into the amazingly clever dog that she is today. Ellie you are a gem and a very special girl - Maz & Jan - thank you for making her what she is today. x<br />Sorry for all the soppy s**tdawniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14037110999022995462noreply@blogger.com
