Hi Foggie I have a similar problem with my Blossom passing 2 Retrievers. Jim, the dog whisperer advised many things the one that works best ( and we are still practising) is to take your dogs favourite treat, and distract your hounds with them, also position yourself between your dogs & the barking ones. And... try your very best to get Artys attention all on you before you reach the garden (if treats don't do it use a favourite toy - the noisier the better), don't slow your walking pace or grip the leads tighter/shorter (I find that very difficult - but it communicates our anxiety to the our dogs). If you can do all of these at once - it will work & you will be a miracle worker if you get it right first time LOL. And of course can you go another way on your walk.....if only it was that easy. Best of luck t (Reubes & Blossoms mum)

Hi Goldie & Ruby's mom, sorry that last blog form me was supposed to go to you ! I asked my husband Roy to reply as i also do not know how to get onto you tube !! it has taken me until now to get the hang of emailing !!! hope you manage to se it !! it was taken as soon as we picked bertie up from Ruth, we were so worried that he would jump our fence but Bertie so not a jumper, his favorite place is the back of the car, where he will lie for hours looking out over the fields, there are lots of rabbits in the fields but he does not seem to be interested at all !! he is a very funny chap !regards michelle and bertie x

Advice please! (M)Arty has settled in really well with Misty. They are both affectionate dogs, Marty in particular loves to cuddle up to you. The only problem we have, and it's a BIG one, is when we go for a walk we have to pass a dog in a raised garden a few doors away from us. This dog, a collie cross is allowed free roam of it's garden and barks very aggressively when any dog goes by. (Our two previous girl greys never bothered ). Marty goes mad with barking and pulling and he is so strong, even in a Mekuti harness, that we are all out of control. Once Marty starts Misty joins in and it's chaos until we can get past the garden and out of sight. Then they both calm down and walk very well. We pass other dogs on the walk and although Marty shows interest and starts to pull he can be talked into being under control quite easily. It is just this one dog and its position of dominance in the raised garden that gives us so much trouble. Even if the problem dog is not out in her garden Marty still reacts in anticipation. I know Marty has to learn to regard us as alpha leaders when we are out with him but when he reacts so strongly (not his fault I know) it is difficult for us to be the alpha. Any advice greatfully received x
