On our morning walk today, Annie and I came across a guy walking his 15 month Golden mix (I'm guessing). Since the new training regimen, Annie has been able to successfully walk past other dogs without going crazy. You all who don't know her have no idea how significant that is. She would sometimes be an uncontrollable freak on walks, to the point of exasperation on my part.
Well, this guy had his dog sit and wait at the corner and I explained she was in training and he said his dog was too, so we tried an introduction. I calmly led Annie to the other dog (Reese?) and she sniffed, did a little aggressive snap, which I quickly corrected - pulled her away and made her sit. Then we tried again and they were wagging and there was much butt sniffing and much rejoicing.
I can't believe what a difference two weeks has made already.

2 people give a shit:
was this after you ate Robin's minstrels?
word of the day: Manoling
Sweet!
No, I do understand. I'm a dog man, and have had one dog we had to get rid of because she was retarded and untrainable.
You have a good trainer.
