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 Smile and kept looking at me which was good.

Smile just thought id share !
