Today, Jesse and I went to an 8-way match with South Eastern Dog Training. This is a match of 8 clubs competing against each other. Each class consisting of 1 dog from each club.
We were entered for Beginners competing against 5 collies, a GSD and an Airdale terrier.
Jesse only went and came first! I am so proud of him, he has done so well. What a start to the new obedience year.

Jesse approached a toddler today.... and didn't growl!
I think this was the first time ever that Jesse approached a young child... He went right up to the toddler (parents were fine with it) and was curious about him! No growling, no insecurity! What an improvement!
I just realised that I never updated on Jean Dodds reply etc. Jean Dodds replied that the high T4 is probably a false reading due to the antibodies... (she even reckons that the 15.4 was higher too than it actually was). I talked to Mark the next day and also forwarded him the correspondence! He agreed to put Jesse back on the 0.5 mg/day!
Since then, Jesse has improved again! No further aggressive outbursts, no resource guarding and see the above with the toddler! His coat still needs longer and he'd been itching quite a lot, though this has eased off and almost stopped again over the last few days.
