Thanks everyone for your wonderful words of encouragement! Those of you who know the story, I have two 3 year old rescue dogs who have been abandoned twice and have recently been diagnosed with dysplasia. Also, when we first got them, they were very bonded to each other and Digby was a self proclaimed pack leader! Needless to say, when we started, we had some very unhappy walks!

Thanks to Carrie, we learnt how to become alpha (even though we couldn't stick to that "awful" advice to ignore my dogs when I came home!!! Really!!! ) and it's wonderful to see now how Romulus runs straight to me and sits square in front of me after a sit stay!!

Thanks again, it's so nice to be able to share with people who REALLY understand!!
