Don't some people make you want to spit !!!!!!
Now I know I'm not perfect by any stretch of the imagination........but OOOOOOOOO I wanna spit feathers after this mornings walk, as I have said before Harvey has not been socialized with other animals but I am making a breakthrough and he is getting better by the day, on this mornings walk I saw a guy in the distance with two Collies off lead so I took Harvey off the path and on a short lead, this guy then saw me and started screaming at the smallest collie, to stop we were at least a hundred meters away at this point in time. I sat Harvey down and waited for him to catch his dog and put it on a lead.....He only put the one dog on the lead so I thought maybe the other did not bother other dogs.....so slowly I started walking Harvey forward keeping well away from the path giving this chap a wide bearth......next min he is screaming at the dog off the lead as it is charging towards Harvey, I sat harvey down keeping him very close and talking calm to him, he wanted to go to this dog rushing at him but was very good and did as I asked him........This guy grabbed the dog by the scruff and pushed it down a side path......then turned and gave me the dirtyest look ever......as if to say how dare you have such a large dog out in public..........Gee I am so mad I am trying my best and Harvey is doing everything I ask of him, his social skills are coming on day by day with other dogs.
I have met some very nice people and with their help I have slowley introduced Harvey to their dogs to a point where he will sit within their reach whilst I have a chat.....He is such a good boy.
Phew now thats off my chest I'm going to have a cuppa sorry I just had to Vent......
