He follows him everywhere and circles him barking off pigeons to keep Vinnie alone, we've found Blitz has acted weird in the past when Vinnie strokes other dogs so we will have to be super careful about that at the moment. Maybe even wise if I just walk Blitz alone and leave Dan and Vin at home so as not to up the anti on the situation. The other danger is if Blitz started again on another dog I know for a fact I wouldn't be fast enough to stop Vinnie from getting between the dogs and he could be hurt. Probably just talked myself into the best option really!

Thing is sweetie
If you avoid these situations how are you ever going to overcome them.
Dont lose your confidence Sweetie, easy to say
Blitz is just being a cocky teenager, dont allow him freedom until he earns it this means a perfect recall whenever you ask.
Use the longline its a great tool and as soon as you ask him to come he has too, if not reel him in-no second chances.
Stay strong babes I promise with age Blitz will be fine xxx

I agree with Linda, as tough as it may seem you have to appear confident and use the longline, freedom is a luxury that has to be earnt imo...xx

Kimber has learned that if she comes back on the first recall she gets fussed, or a biscuit. It took some time to instil this in her. The spray collar was a big help.

He is still being a little bit unpredictable, not in the same way but I think it is time to bite the bullet. 12 days until castration booked him in today xx
