    That’s fantastic Phil. They do look very relaxed together :)

    Lovely to see the photos Phil. I was so thrilled when Pippin was able to walk with Holly off lead, it is certainly a big breakthrough in her reactivity. You are right Naya Pippin does look relaxed and I really feel she enjoys her walks with Holly now. Holly is a star, she is so good with both Pippin and Becca.

    More progress was made with Becca today. Becca and Holly started the walk on lead. Becca seemed unconcerned about Holly's presence so we slipped Holly's lead and let her walk free. Holly was wandering around Becca and both dogs seemed quite relaxed. We'd have kept Holly off lead if she hadn't started eating poop (Labradors eh?).

    We put Holly back on her lead and let them walk alongside each other. At one point they both stopped and sniffed the same tuft of grass. Two months ago that would have been impossible to imagine.

    It's great to see how much progress Becca has made in such a short time. Back at the car park both dogs got well-deserved treats.

    Sometimes it's nice to be reminded there is just pure kindness in the world. :)

    Credit needs to go to @WoodWoman for the hard work she's been doing with Becca and Pippin. All Holly OH and I do is turn up for a nice walk once a week at the Beacon.

    Thanks Phil but if you Ruth and Holly didn't turn up each week in all sorts of weather, like yesterdays endless rain, we wouldn't have made such good progress. And we certainly couldn't have made such progress without your help. I was so pleased with Becca yesterday, it was so nice to see her relaxed and walking next to Holly. Our walks have given me hope for the future in that one day Pippin and Becca might be able to overcome their reactivity,
