18 weeks old

Jesse is growing up fast... he had his third face trim on Sunday as well as another bath. I quite like the way he looks now, so I think I am slowly getting better at this grooming malarky... LOL

It also looks like his second fear stage has kicked in... we walked past a man reading a book on a bench in the park on Sunday and Jesse barked at him from quite a distance. I distracted Jesse and did a bit of training, which worked as when we walked back past them, he looked, but didn't bark.

Jesse is still very good off lead and his recall is excellent. He is getting a little more independent though and ventures 3 or 4 yards now and again instead of just walking right under my feet. That's good. He is also more than happy to play with toys in the park now and keeps bringing the ball back many times, he also still loves his clicker training - in the park as well as indoors and in training classes.

He now also runs up the stairs without problems (so often that I am thinking to put the stair gate up to stop him doing it too often), but I still have to rescue him because he can't come back down... LOL
