Awesome is a good word. It's not enough to describe me, but it's at least a decent start. |
This is the blog for Monstermom and Monster. Monster is an aggressive dog, and Monstermom is trying to help him get better. Hopefully this blog will chronicle the journey from "You need to put that thing down, it's a menace!" to "What a beautiful dog! Can I say hello?"...

Today's Sunshine
Today Monster and I left the yard for a walk and were immediately faced with a man with a dog. They were about 20m away from us, and Monster didn't lunge or growl! He did tense up a bit, and he did tighten the leash. He also wasn't interested in treats. But he didn't show aggression (apart from tensing and staring), and when I walked on (diagonally from the others) and encouraged him to come with just a "this way" he followed right away. He did look back at the other dog - and the man, presumably - a couple of times, but he was fairly loose in his body and he sniffed the ground and generally didn't fixate. I say: awesome!
