For those who don't know once upon a time Honey was an EXTREMELY reactive and fearful dog who would not only put on a massive show JRT stylee but would also beeline for any thing she even thought was a dog and fight and bite. ANY movement AT ALL required her shouting and screaming, basically she was an almighty mess with a ton of fears/phobias.
So once upon a time she wouldn't have a had a dog "friend" and I certainly wouldn't have gotten in a car with her and another dog and "non family" people but last week I did.
She was a STAR




So for those of you that are struggling with fearful/reactive dogs, stay strong, things can get better with force free fun happy training methods you CAN turn around even "aggressive" dogs.
(Of course I didn't just hope for the best there was plenty of management involved and I did my upmost to give her plenty of distance from her triggers and kept her on her long line when appropriate.)
She REALLY wants to go hunting in the dunes (this was at the very end of the walk)

Awesome photobomb from her pal Oscar


Oscar's owners are some of her very favourite people
