Hudson's been promoted to Silver!

There was a small miracle in Burghfield yesterday...Hudson had his sensible head on and passed the Kennel Club Good Citizen Silver Award!

This means he has mastered the art of:

• loose lead walking outside without pulling (only if hand stinks of sausage)
• two minute stay without moving (an excuse to have a rest)
• examination by the judge (an excuse for a fuss)
• controlled greeting (as above)
• getting in and out of the car in a controlled manner (another excuse for a rest)
• return to handler (an excuse for a fuss)
• return to handler from distractions - dogs, people etc (more fussing and there's probably sausage in it).

As you can see, bribery gets me everywhere!
