I don't know if any of you remember but I was having terrible problems with Rez being dog aggressive on walks. I have been doing lots of work with him, always taking small pieces of chicken and getting him to focus on me and ignore the dog, or letting him sniff the dog if he's being calm enough and if he gets super aggressive walking him in the other direction.
Well it's been going okay - he IS improving.
But the real improvement came when I started letting him off the lead on some walks. When he's off the walk he is amazing! he runs over to dogs for a sniff, or avoids in a way that's comfortable for him, he may even come to me to pick him up. but he's NEVER hostile off lead. It's amazing so far.
He doesn't run off, his recall is spot on and he's a little star off lead too.
I have been pretty scared at times esp if a dog runs up to him and it's much bigger - but he either takes it in his stride and sniffs or goes in the opposite direction. It's been brilliant - really made walks a pleasure rather than a stressful event.
