I am so so proud of Flash. I took him to my training classes yesterday (with Rima teaching) and he was just great, settled when asked (even when I put him on the stage with dogs coming into the hall he'd never seen before), joined in to the training and playing when invited and controlled himself beautifully even around the large dogs that worried him! What a star he was!
He has made so much progress over the last months. He ignores dogs when on lead now unless they come up to him. If they are small and medium dogs he says hello nicely, if they are large dogs I have to walk him away. He has played with dogs very nicely recently too - last time this Sunday with little Joey, Karen's sister's little bichon, when we went for a walk together.
He is also such a pleasure to walk again now. He keeps an eye on me, is more responsive than ever before and I don't have to worry too much anymore about other dogs around. I have taken them all to Lloyds Park a few times now and it has been great and given me more confidence for our countryside walks at our new home in Norfolk!
