well done fred..... sort of...

i had to go to PAH today to get some stuff for the fish tank... so i decided to combine it with freds walk!

and what a great walk we had, he was brilliant, he pulled a bit till we got to the racecourse, and then got confused when we walked straight past it and carried onto PAH.... he then walked lovely!

when we got to PAH it was full of bloomin dogs, we went in and i managed to skirt around them all without a fuss, until fred spotted them and went beserk, barking and whining,whilst his tails wagging lol, well instead of walking off and taking him away from the situation i went closer, very slowly, and made him sit and stay,on lead, and bless him, he was very close to 2 strange dogs and he never flinched, i felt quite proud of him, a member of staff must of seen what i was doing as she came over and gave fred a large choccy bone as a treat :love: even though he turned his nose up at it!!

we walked around the shop a bit more, keeping the other dogs in sight, they must of thought we were stalking them lol... but he was very good, he would bark a little bit and then i would make him sit again, and he was ok ....

it may not seem a lot lol, but to us it was a big achievement!!...

until we got out the shop and on the way home we met 2 more dogs and he started barking again

but were getting there slowly, hes not as bad as he used to be, people laughed at him today in the store, rather than run away lol :2431:

Awww Well done Fred, thats great stuff :san18: :san18: Sounds like you're doing a great job with him Shelley :love:

If you find yourself there tomorrow about 2, Mimi is having her boosters, you can stalk us if you like :2445: :2445:

AAAwww well done to you and fred, what a good time you had. Real pleased for you.

ooooh i was thinking of going again if i could be bothered lol... just to socialise him... but i would prob be leaving at that time to make sure im back ....but ya never know i might peep from behind the dog treats :2431:

Well done Fred!!!! :love: :love:

I always like to hear how Fred is progressing as Marley seems to do what Fred does only 4 months behind if you kwim. It gives me hope!!! :2431:
Marley is barking at everything at the moment outside, bikes other dogs people the lady in the disabled cart but I know he's not meaning it nastily but it looks and sounds bad as he pulls to get to them.....Marleys problem is he barks to get their attention as he thinks everyone should make a fuss of him and if they dont he lets them know about it!!! :2431:
