Well, I think this is progress. We met another dog this afternoon. It and its owner were walking towards us, they were where we leave the bank for home, so had to pass them. I did my usual, walk forward and watch for the trigger. I tossed him a few 'find it' treats and we got quite close and he...

Funnily enough, I've just been reading about flirt poles. Bubbles and a flirt pole for Easter it is.

Well done. Hold on to the positives, I always think with Eddi, he's done it once, he can do it again!

A good way to get the dog exercised, I just never thought of it.

Where did the bacon flavour come from?

What great pictures and a great idea. I'm going to buy some. I love the smile on her face.

I have thought of that. I don't think Eddi would be aggressive, I think it's barrier frustration, but it might make people move away. I do feel that he is in a bad habit and maybe more exposure - in a controlled way - not less might get him over it. There are those hormones to consider though...

Eddi pulls on his lead. Can you let Molly off lead? We daren't because of his high prey drive, he wouldn't come back if he was distracted by something. Might not come back anyway. When we take him to training they have an off lead socialisation session, I was scared at first, but he's great. He...

Did you ever have any break through moments with Molly? I think you're a saint! I'm not sure I can keep Eddi if we don't get him out of it.

Oh, so I may never get him out of it.:( He does seem to respond to 'no' and 'stop' calmly but firmly spoken. The same guy with two dogs walled on the bank and I turned him and said 'no'. He got more agitated when they were directly opposite right in his trigger zone, but he stopped when I turned...

Have you ever tried to train her out of it?

Hi, I love Dalmatians, sadly, I have never owned one.

Do you really want to know? Actually, there were positives out of the negative, but it's just so wearing.

The calm before the storm. I need to go and lie down in a darkened room for an hour now. Any of that Bailey's available?

Gosh, that sounds horrendous! Glad things got better.

Thanks. I make little remarks about him all the time. One day, I hope, I'll have a eureka moment, then you'll lall know about it! Now it's time for the dreaded walk and I am a bit later leaving because of the frost, more dogs about.:eek:

I don't have much experience of puppies biting, we usually adopt older dogs, but, I can relate to your feeling a failure and being close to tears. The dog I recently adopted didn't bark on walks for the first 3 days we had him, nor did he vomit, defecate, urinate in the house or pull on the...

He doesn't have tags.

You can't relax for a minute when you have a reactive dog. I just assumed he was going to carry on walking on the lower bank past me. If it works, pick him up, I do with Eddi.
