its amazing how these little guys can pick up on things we don't even know we're doing. I'm sorry you're having some problems with Simon, but glad that you got a trainer to help you figure out what was going wrong.
When walking morgan i get alittle nervous too sometimes when another dog is walking their owner. If the dog is pulling way ahead of the owner and the owner looks like he's in no control i simply change directions or cross the street. If the owner looks like he knows what he's doing then i keep morgan in check and calmly keep on walking straight ahead. Sometimes the other person will just keep on walking which is fine with us and other times they start making conversation within 10 feet of us. In this case i'll let the dogs meet and sniff but i'll only stick around for a minute or two (unless the owner is a hot guy then we stick around longer hehehe hey a single girls gotta work it *snort* ), then continue on our walk.
Good luck with Simon next Thursday. Hope it goes well and your walks improve
edit: wine also helps !!
