Harley

Harley has been fantastic. The difference in her is incredible. I no longer dread taking her along the street! 

She is so good at making eye contact with me and looking for instruction as to what to do when a dog approaches. I have been practicing turning her round and sitting down and rewarding her when the dog walks past her with no reaction. What a result! 

I am now able to walk past dogs ( still with some space for Harley) without any reaction by getting her to look at me and focus. 

She is so clever that now when she meets and greets a dog politely on a walk or if she sees a dog in the street she will nudge me for a treat as a reward for no reaction. Clever girl. 

We are still practicing so see if we can maybe get a little closer to a dog in the street than we have been. There are still times where she is a little anxious on the lead but all a working progress. She is now walking through the Hermitage with no reaction at all to cyclists, joggers or people with big bags or unusual objects. 

Thank you so much for your help.
