I would like to say things are better - but then I would be telling lies. Things have not been better! But after a rather bad morning walk I bumped into a lady I know from dog club who recognised Custer's behavoir and offered some advice.
We have now started 'clicker training' my new book has only arrived today 'click to calm'. Meanwhile I have been teaching Custer all about the clicker and yummy treats, also been working on some heel work. I do have him responding to the clicker, and walking with me really well off the lead (were its quiet).
However, the lunging at dogs is still going on - and he is not too keen on certain people either.
With other dogs he is friendly every time, and only wants to play - I have now found on our morning off lead walkies if I run off he will follow me, so recall is now happening, just wish I could stop him from going in the first place.
I also watched some great video's by kikopup which were fascinating - learning some of her 'catch words' is also helping.
I will try not to leave it a month till my next blog post, and hope to be able to talk progress.
