Carolyn Pike Roman Webboard User Reg: 03-20-2007 Posts: 559 Loc: San Antonio, TX Offline	Last night on our walk at the park we passed two barking excited/aggressive dogs with their people and Greta followed me off the path, sat and focused on me (with rewards) when asked instead of getting excited, distracted, and barking/bouncing around. I am just so tickled! Sorry if this seems like a dumb post but it is so nice to see progress and my coworkers are tired of hearing about my dog... She turns one year old next week, can't believe it, time has flown.
