It's been a whil since I updated...I took Bryan to see the trainer at Dog's Trust and got loads of advice (very similar to what Shona has told me).

Basically I've got a lot tougher and I have let Bryan know that I do NOT want him barking at other dogs when he's on his lead.

We've also stopped him sleeping on our bed.

Yesteday we walked past 4 dogs - 4 WHOLE DOGS -and he didn't bark at them. He had a look, was interested, but didn't bark. He barked at one dog but it was nowhere near as bad as it used to be (more of a grumble really).

Just thought I'd let you all know, we;re getting there

and don`t it feel good when it all works!

Thanks guys!

He had a bit of a grumble at a little staffy this afternoon, but I stopped him fairly quickly.

Planning a trip to the park on Saturday afternoon

Im sure it will be fab, your almost at the top of the hill with him now,
xx

Will post a report tomorrow boss

Sounds as if you're well in the process of getting things sorted with Bryan now, that's brilliant!

Good luck with your park outing. Hopefully it'll go well! I look forward to hearing all about it!

Oh well done, I know how hard it is and I feel for you! You've done an amazing job to get as far as you have!

Did not read this whole thread, but I hope the OP is still present to take this suggestion, if has not already been suggested...

The book "Click to Calm" by Emma Parsons (I think that the author) is a book I really like.

Thanks Leema, I'll have a look at it.
