I'm begining to feel like Barbara Woodhouse!!! Do I really come across as that scary and forceful?
Power - at last!!!!!!!!

Really though, it makes me smile - you all have so much insight into your own problems and very little confidence in your own ability! Nobody knows your dog like you do and if you have a feeling about the cause of a problem - go with it! You have as much chance as anyone else - probably more. Let's see some owner power! You can't do too much wrong - don't hit, don't shout and have agood think before you do anything and then stick to it for three weeks. If it's going badly wrong before then you'll know!
