Isn't it just great when they make those little steps!

Well done Pam and Mia
Another success for patience and understanding and taking time to work with your dog without causing further behavioural problems, or resorting to the 'fix it quick never mind the consequences' type of training . xx

Thankyou you all
and it is thanks to lots of you on here cos you have all given such great advice

pidge - you are being an insperation to many as well with your love and hard work with your boy

Just to show there is ups and downs
This morning took them for their morning walk
Turned to lock the door and feel a slack lead
Mia bolted into the park - hackles up barking ready for a fight
I call her and nothing
Get Ben to do some tricks and reward him lots - Mia comes back, I get her to do some tricks and then clip the lead on
Next sec she is off again - looking for a fight - seems to take ages for her to come back - doubt it was a min
thankfully no dogs around!
I check lead, the spring has gone in the clip! so I clip her onto Bens lead as he is pretty trustworthy off the lead

Gulp!! but it dosent spoil the good she has done - just shows although we have come along way still more work to be done - espech in THAT park

great to hear about the ups and downs of mia, shes come a long way and you've done great with her!!

You do a great job with Mia , Pam

She is an amazing little dog, and she has an amazing mum!

Yeyyyy! way to go! Now all you`ve got to do is adjust to the fact she`s a Good Girl! Which - as I know - is easier said than done.

A big well done to you! Sounds like all your hard work is paying off. Its all about making those small steps
