way to go ted

thats a great idea, though think i will be sticking to my notebook just now

Well done Millie, great to hear she is building her confidence up

Great stuff Xeva Brilliant to hear that she managed to ignore the majority of dogs, great progress

And yay Ted! Tons of good stuff there, lots to celebrate! You should be really proud of him.

Had a brilliant socialisation class today A new dog started, a GSD x Rottie, gorgeous big young dog. Cain was dying to play with it, running laps, play bowing. The dog wasn't so keen but Cain did try

He got involved in a number of "disputes" and I was a bit surprised. But the trainers explained his body language to me, like that he was barking in a bow type position and that fact that his weight was back meant that he didn't mean it aggressively. Infect he was trying to diffuse the situation, and a couple of times he even succeeded! He ran in once or twice to back up the teaching dogs!!!! they were really pleased with him and said that they are still convinced that he'll make a good teaching dog, he's just too immature at the moment. But he really showed a lot of self restraint today and managed to handle some confrontational situations without tipping over the edge he's a good boy really

ETA: I forgot to mention that Cain did a perfect alley recall through 8 dogs

Wow go Cain!! Sounds like the class went really well He must have been really happy to be able to interact with dogs again too - Big congratulations to him!

Well done Cain and Amanda sounds like you had a brilliant class

YAY WAY TO GO CAIN

Three live guests with twelve limbs entered, three live guests with twelve limbs departed

Great news!

Excellent! Well done Cain and you.

We went on a tree identification walk today with about 20 people and a couple of them made a fuss of Izzy and she wasn't nervous of them.
