If he saw a hand come out he went balistic. I tried training myself, I love Victoria Stillwell and have It's Me or the Dog on DVD and I did make
some progress, but I also realized I needed someone to help me get to the next level. I found a trainer here that both Reg and I love and have seen promising progress after only four sessions. In fact we go to see Teesha tonight

It was a bit pricy but I feel it well worth it, I love seeing Reggie's confidence grow, and he is more relaxed on our walks and is enjoying them much more.
