I haven't updated on Duncan's progress in quite some time but I do have some exciting news....
A few weeks ago, I took Duncan to this event called the "Blessing of the Bikes" Basically, all these people with their Harley Davidsons meet at one location and drive to a church to have their bikes "blessed" for the season. Well I am a huge fan of Harley Davidsons so I wanted to go down and see them. I took Duncan with me so that he could get out of the house on a beautiful day and we could spend some time together.
We went down to the street and there were about 1000 bikes there and twice the amount of people. I had his Gentle Leader on him. We walked down the street looking at the bikes and talking to people. It was crowded at some points and people of course, wanted to pet him. He did so fantastic!!!!!!!!!!![]()

He let people pet him and he stayed right next to me the whole time. He was calm and friendly and really seemed to enjoy himself!! The only time he became aggressive at all was when he saw a cat in a storefront window!
Next to the street is a big park and Duncan and I went up on the hill to watch all the bikes leave. Now there are 2000 bikes starting their engines! It was so loud. Guess what Duncan did...nothing! He just lay down next to me and watched!! Even when a lady came over with a small dog, he just watched it....Kids came over to play with him and he loved it, even rolling on his back for a belly rub while 3 children pet him!!!
I am so proud of him I could scream!!! He has improved 2000% in the last few weeks. Of course, I'm always cautious with him and there are certain people I will just never let him around off leash. My sister's boyfriend being one of them. I "dislike him immensely" and I think Duncan does too!!!
Anyway, I hope I didn't jump the gun here but he seems to be doing really well and becoming more confident in himself and me everyday!
Maybe we can close this thread.....I better not say that yet huh....
Thanks to everyone for all your support!!!
