Dogs are not wolves. Wolves don’t have alphas.

I’m off today for the first time in an age. Feels very naughty. So found some farm jobs to do instead. New saws needed for Colin. Isla came along to supervise the purchasing of said new saws in B&Q!!! They don’t mind dogs in there. In fact staff members made a big fuss of her. Made Isla’s day. Then we went to the shops again and took her for a cuppa. Made more friends. Back through the park. Made more friends. I swear it’s the crooked ear. She hid it for the photo though. 🤣😍🤣🐾

Another day, another doggy social walk. Isla this time. Oh she is such a sweetheart!!!! Love walking with her. She is constantly looking for another human victim to say hello too!!! Someone she can flash her eyes at and they instantly melt. That’s about 50% of the population so far. The rest she’s working on.

We had a few hiccups along the way. A little child came screaming out of a cafe, screaming running full speed towards Isla. She panicked, backed up but I recovered her nicely. Grandad even stopped to say hello. Isla is usually all over little ones but that little chap was in a hurry. It happens. 5 paces after that a terrier swore it’s hear off at her. She looked at me very shocked at such language. Don’t know why I swear like a trooper. Few treats, couple of supportive hugs and off we went again.

Then there was the chap playing his bagpipes. Isla used to be worried about that type of thing so I braced myself for a possible reaction. Figured out my plan in my head. Isla just cruised straight past him. Problem? What problem?!! Older, more mature. All those times of gentle exposure in the past have worked their magic. Proud as punch of her!!! My little redhead.

Lesson is, life happens. It’s how you deal with it. Try to get back up and bounce on if you can. If it’s all too much that day, go home, rest up and try again tomorrow. Training isn’t a race. It’s time and practice. First time Isla saw instruments in the street I had to carry her past. Worked on it gently when the chance appeared. Don’t rush it.
