I am so proud of Elvis :D.

For as long as Elvis has been with me he has "always" had trouble with onlead agression with other dogs and has had trouble making new friends at the park , so lately we have been out and about meeting new dogs at the park offlead, and he has been doing great. Last night we met a beautiful 12 month old Border Collie bitch and her owners and Cocker Spaniel brother and i can now say Elvis is smitten with Daisy (BC) they ran and romped and Elvis even allowed Daisy to take his B.A.L.L , i was so proud of him.


Elvis had also taken a disliking to an Aussie Shep pup from Flyball (They will be team mates oneday ), so the other night at training all of the dogs were running around and Jazz was playing so i let Elvis off lead (I was in total control if anything happened). Well he totally suprised me by being a gentleman with her and even let Jazz "herd" him.

I am over the moon about this break through, even though we have a "long" way to go with the on lead issues.

Way to go Elvis! We knew you could do it! What a good boy. Tell mom to give you a special treat! (I'm sure she did )

Glad he's improving! Maybe one day he'll even be a good boy with his leash on. I'll bet you have lots of fun at flyball. I really enjoy watching it on tv.

It sounds like he's doing GREAT! And may end up with a few girlfriends

Please give him(and Clover) a big hug for me!

Good Luck-I hope he continues to do well!!

aw, what a good boy Elvis! we're all proud of ya .. you better get lots of cookies for being such a nice doggy! Gonzo is waay less friendly on-lead than off-lead too, I think it's partly because they feel they can't have their space or get away from another dog when they're on a short lead. He sounds like he's doing really well! how is Flyball?

Thats great! It does feel great when you are having issues with a certian thing, and then they surprise you when they behave. I love it when Heidi does that. Thats really good though, that he is behaving like that off lead. You are such a good boy Elvis!! You made your momma proud. *smoochies to you*

Way to go Elvis! Keep being a good boy for your Mom, ok?

Thanks everyone . We went to the dog beach today, and Elvis was OK with the other dogs, but an Afghan was getting nosy and eye balling him so he snapped at it . And another pup was annoying him, trying to push him around and he snapped at it aswell, other than that he was a good boy.

Erica, flyball is going well (I am not as enthausiastic as the dogs at the moment). Elvis has been running about 4.2- 8 seconds, but as soon as we try him with another dog in the other lane he chases. I am hoping he will grow out of it, he will be 15 months old on the 13th of January .

We have also been trying crossovers with him and mixing the running order up so he gets used to crossing in all positions, but he was born a start dog (I hate starting though ).

I have tons of photos that i may post in the next few days, and Videos aswell .

Good boy Elvis! Keep up the good work.
Eyeballing is a challenge, no wonder Elivis
did not like it.
