Magic is finally 2, to be precise he is 2 years, a week and two days old, and he is doing great, he is finally looking loads better. He's healthier, happier and enjoying life. His manners are coming on in leaps and bounds, he's understanding what I am asking to do and he is slowly coming in to work.
I have started lunging him twice a week for no more than 10 minutes at a time, 5 minutes on each side making sure that I work him evenly on both sides. He spends the majority of the day out in the field with his friends but he has now learnt that when I ask him to come in he can come in on his own and it doesn't matter that his friends are out in the field. He's doing so well and takes everything that I ask him to in his stride. He's happy, healthy and safe and that is all that matters to me. I'm not writing a lot tonight as I'm a little bit under the weather but here's some videos of magic working.
Remember that you can check out my youtube channel whenever you want and there you will find all the videos that I create for Magic, as it sometimes takes me a little bit longer to upload them here.
Casper and Diesel are doing great, part of the reason that I haven't been blogging is that they haven't been to great recently. The environment with my downstairs neighbour has made casper become arsey and also the amount of testosterone flying around between the two of them hasn't been helping. Out of no where Casper started going for diesel and we almost had to have casper put down. Luckily we found a decent vet and spoke to them and they suggested having the pair neutered and said that this should show a huge alteration but that it would take time. The pair have now been neutered and are under a strict training programme and are both doing so much better now. They've not had one play fight or bad moment. They also have to have a diffuser to calm them down as the vets opinion is that the arguing from my neighbours is sending them over the top and to anxious. It's safe to say that this is working so well!
On that note, I'm now shattered and off to bed.
Until Tomorrow,
Amber, Magic, Casper and Diesel.
I can't believe Magic is two and a half years old already. Where does the time go? I sure have missed your blog. I still don't have a lot of time, but I'm trying to do better about reading. Magic is absolutely gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteSorry things were so rough with the dogs. I'm glad things are getting better. Having intact males together is really difficult. My family had two male German Shepherds that were brothers and they used to have the scariest fights, but surprisingly they never hurt each other. I miss those dogs.
