Balanced Behaviour

** Apologies for the video quality**

When I first met Picasso and took notes on his history, I wasn't sure I would ever get to this point..and it's happened surprisingly fast.

On our last walk I could see he was relaxing into life...life with other dogs in the picture. Its taken 2 previous lessons with Halo much further away, for me to work out that Picasso is very fearful of other dogs and his reactivity is likely fear based. We carried out some exercises at a distance which we decreased gradually, but today his energy was just where I wanted it to be to take the next step... we walked together for a full hour with 3/4 of it on the same path and I even allowed a couple of sniffs of Halo towards the end.

So very happy with this progress. A long way to go, but heading in the right direction! Well done!
