My blog Its Been HARD Work.As alot of you I have had many problems with Angel and I still do. But what I about to write may seem silly to some, but it is a great achievement for myself and Angel. Angel has always been slow if thats the right word to use, She will sit on command straight away but to do anything else like down or paw you would have to repeat over and over like you would training a puppy. Some days she would do a command no problem, but then the next day she would have forgotton and you would have to start all over again. It was like she had a memory block she wouldnt no what you was asking her. But for the last 3 days she has sat when I asked her and, yes gave me her paw on the first time I have asked her. This is the first time ever she has done this. Im just so pleased with her. Normally she cant remember anything. I no some people may find this silly but to me this is just great. I do basic things with her everyday but she never remembers any of it the next day. So now for my next trick ...............
