Ahahahaha, yes, Dog Oliver is making progress! We spent about half our evening walk pacing in front of this lovely little black pit, and while he knew the other dog was there and kept looking back to see him, Olly stayed nicely at heel and didn't bark once. Then on the last leg we ran into this Obstacle Course of Things to Shriek At (a woman walking another dog towards us, two humans alone that he wanted very badly to meet) and while he pulled twice and barked once, it only took him a hundred feet or so to settle down and walk nicely again. For him, this is very good.

Next up, dog class! We might or might not have failed the class overall, but we've definitely made a ton of progress over the last several weeks. I'll be signing up either for the same class (if we failed) or a different one at the same place after this class ends. Stress or no stress, I love training too much to pass it up, and it's certainly good practice for next time.
