More Fun With Roo

So Roo has had more fun this week, on Wednesday we went to Bolton Abbey and Roo loved it. He loved swimming in the water and although we kept him on the lead he had a good swim ttrying to fetch tennis balls back and swimming across while my dad went along the stepping stones. He really did enjoy himself, with the only problem being ducks! Roo does not like ducks and will try to catch them all he can, which is why we kept him on the lead. But at least we learnt that Roo does love water just like we thought.

Today we had our first off lead walk with Roo. Its a risk you have to take with foster dogs but with two of us on the walk (me and my dad) we took the risk and watched him run free. Big grin on his face he loved it! He loved playing fetch and although would not take the ball back at first after the first couple of times he was great and with a tempting treat he grasped the basics of recall. I'm not saying he's fully learnt recall, that will take a few more off lead walks but he is a quick learner and it won't take long for him to fully learn it. Anyway I've taken a video of his fetch skills as you can see below and have some pictures to show you all :)
