I'm so pleased!!

We had class tonight. Rupe was muzzled there and it was our Christmas party. He was a complete failure at musical bumps but did about 5 minutes in the sit stay competition and fetched a cooked sausage twice (due to his dog aggression we didn't risk him doing it off leash for the 3rd round so quit there). Our instructor sent us round to hand out dog biscuits and he stood quietly behind me rather than lunging at the other dogs. And he never bothered once about the other dogs running around

I know it's not really a big deal to most people but for us this is absolutely wonderful. Him being unable to actually bite gave me confidence and I'm sure that helped him stay calm.

That's fabalous!!!!

Thats brilliant well done you and well done Rupe - I know what you mean about having the confidence and it does pass down the lead

Well done to ya both

Thats great news, a huge step forward for you both, you must be very proud of him.

great work on both your parts. well done
question though????? how did the clever boy retrieve a sausage with his muzzle on??????? however my lot would only have fetched it back in their tummy's lol so good job Rupe.

That is great - after owning a dog-aggressive dog in the past, I know how much small steps forward like this mean. I am thrilled for you both

Soo pleased for you both. Clever boy Rupe you can do it

That is good news weel done you 2 makes it all worth while.

Small steps but they all count so well done----Aileen
