Today was a good day

So we are back with the basic training . We started on Friday evening. Our normal quick walk on Friday night took me around 30min ( and it's only around the block ). I stoped everytime Debo pulled. I think some people thougth that I'm crazy because I'm Polish I said "heel" in polish. So I looked like crazy women stopping every 2sec and talking to herself. We repeated that on Saturday morning,afternoon just had to say "heel" and pull the lead,no stopping. Today most of the time when Debo felt that the lead is too tight,he slowed down .
Also we tried to ignore people and dogs by getting Debo's attention on me. He's still crazy about the dogs but with people we're making progress .
He was a little devil when we went to vist friend.They have 1yr old boy and Debo wants to play with him and lick him,let's just say the boy doesn't have to have a bath tonight.Just came back from doggy park,where he played with his new Staffy girlfriend and other fluffy thing. The fluffy thing was bit grumpy and when Debo went to close him he growled and snap but my boy just stand there,I think a bit suprised,no reaction.
The fluffy thing left and Debo had great time with his girlfriend.... But not everything can be perfect,after half an hour of madness I had to take DEbo because he wanted to use his charm on her by humping her

Getting there!

Progress! Thats great and did make me smile, whats 'heel' in polish?

It's a great feeling when things come together, well done

Noga
Well it's more confusing. "Noga" means "leg". But that's what we use for "heel".

I can picture it now

Yep. It was dark,I was stoping now and then to throw my spell on Debo.

Ah, getting there Loki's the same, he's better at ignoring people when we walk past them, but still pretty troublesome and excited with dogs. Have to take small victories keep up with it though, sounds like you're all doing well

Oh good, you're Polish, I have a question how do you pronounce Zdzislaw? Sorry for the off-topic

Progress is always good

Here we go Tara. "'zjeeswav",with the 'j' pronounced like an English j, 'ee' like in 'feet', and 'a' as a back-a like in 'father'..Good luck

It's a great feeling when they behave isn't it

Oh,the best!

It makes all the hard work worth while I know I still have a lot to get through yet, but one good day gives you the strength to get through the not so good ones
