Bit strange though that he told you about the paw but didn't suggest what to do? Generally best to restrict excericse for awhile with something like that (but I know how much you and Tilly would love that - NOT!)
Yes he was nice & I will try to avoid the other guy in future!
He was also very patient while I explained all her "odd" behaviour such as the feet fixation & being anxious. When I described what she does he said this is nipping not biting, when she went for him he asked me would I describe this as being aggresive (as I said I was concerned) and I said yes & he said she is not agressive, she's being collie! Then gave me a big explanation on collies & their behaviour if not stimulated enough & asked why it said on her notes that she was a lab/retreiver!! I said no I told them she was collie x ? possibly lab.. anyway we clarified that & am going to try some more stimulating mind stuff with her & well as excercise. More training too me thinks!! I could tell he was a collie fan
