My little rescue dog... 7 months on

Yep, finally the video of Kez, showing just about everything. We still couldnt add everything, shes just learning too much too fast! Ive never known a dog to pick things up so fast! She has such incredible enthusiasm for everything she does, she is just coming along so well. I really should thank my nan for handing her over to me, its done her the world of good, and me as well. She is teaching me so much, and is so much fun to train!

When we first got her she was so scared of new places, other dogs and just anything new really. Her old life was her walking with a large group of dogs everyday, in the same place, with the same people. Now thats ok, for dogs that arent timid and stressed, but for Kez it wasnt. Now, after just 7 months, she still gets nervous around other dogs but is growing in confidence everyday. She no longer gets scared walking in new places due to us walking in at least 3 different locations per week :).

Her biggest (and mine) success has been her trust in me. She used to growl and nip whenever anyone tried to pick her up, touch her feet, put harnesses on her, hold her collar etc. The first few walks took us about 15 minutes to get the harness on her before we left the house. Now, no problem at all. As you can see, she has no fear jumping into my arms and being held by me. She no longer worries about her harness being put on, or her collar being held. She's such a good girlie :).

Oh and we think we know what breed she is. After seeing her brother and some Australian Kelpie's we think she could be Australian Kelpie cross Lurcher with possibly something else in the mix too :).

Oh and if your wondering why theres a muzzle on the end of the lead at the beginning, thats because she has an incredibly loud bark which she does at full blast before she leaves the house, which can get my other dogs going and annoy the neighbours :). She only wears it for 2 seconds as we leave the house :).

So enjoy :). Shes such a cool little doggie, and she is definantly having so much fun learning her new life and I sure am having tonnes of fun learning how to train her :).

Sorry about change of song, first song problem ive had since youtube started. Rather annoying!
