Hi Malcolm, Thanks for asking about Nash I have had him for four years and it has flown by, and I thought that I was the only one with a daft guide dog but hearing other stories I realize that most of them are the same, it always amazes me that off harness he is as daft as a brush and a big softie, but as soon as I put his harness on he stands like a statue waiting for his first command and responds immediately to everything thing I say, and it was so hard in the beginning I almost gave up, if we are left alone when out working we are fine but when training my g.d.m.o said the biggest problem you will face is the public,and she was so right, as anyone with a guide dog will testify, the fussing and feeding is bad enough but the other day a lady allowed her out of control dog to actually play with Nash as we were crossing a busy main road, and all she said to her badly behaved dog was in a soft simpering voice was you naughty little boy. one of Nash's funny things is to growl at the tv when there is animals on and with his hair sticking up he runs round the back of the tv to see where they have gone, Chris Simpson Leicester, skype name chriscringle2
