Think ive cracked it at last !!!

Finally after many weeks of trying to get my Diesel to walk without being fearful - its paying off !

Shes all tail waggy when we go out now - the snow has helped a lot to like take her mind off other things too.

She has been out 2 times today - albeit fairly short 20 min walks but we are getting there - and im proud and I think she is too in a funny kind of way. She still wont walk around 1 particular corner, but i hope to conqur this in the next week or so.

Anyway - apart from that - her walking to heel is getting good now, using the heel word wasnt working for us - instead ive been stopping when she pulls, gentle but quickly give the lead a yank [not hard ofc] and use a vocal correcter such as 'a' [loud - like victiria stillwell uses for corrections] And - its workign, she walked beautifully with a loose leash all the way home today and kept looking at me which was good.

just thought id share !

Well done! Sounds like she's really doing well!

well done its nice when theyre not frightened any more bless her.

Its so rewarding when training pays off and it seems to click into place

Glad to hear things are going well

Very glad to hear that Diesel is getting better at walking on the lead. Just that corner to work on then

Well done. hard work pays off and is worth it in the end.
