Two amazing things!!

[HAH]

I also put her off leash on a cue, so everytime the leash is taken off she will remain seated until I say otherwise. It is also the same for play time. If we are walking and she is offleash and I say 'go play'she knows it is her time to say hello. I do add the name of the other dog infront, as she will the run past 10 other dogs and find the one.

Thanks from me too for all of this @VanillaBean (and I know you're even more busy today!) - this will help a huge amount with Kipper who just cannot concentrate at the moment in the early phases of an on-lead walk . Playing arousal down games and also introducing a leash off release cue will hopefully help a lot.

Thanks for the words of encouragement @Selina27

@VanillaBean - Maxx is already sort-of looking up when I say 'look at me' do it will only be a short while before we conquer that one
