    Hi all,

    Day off work today so for Harvey's morning walk I took him to the local garden centre (combining exercise with continued socialisation). He gets very excited at all of the people there, his head is almost spinning as he tries to decide who he wants to meet first! ;)

    Anyway, any pulling on his lead results in an immediate 'stop and sit' penalty. I was putting this into effect and rewarding Harv for getting it right and for sitting politely to greet people as we approached the checkouts. The three ladies there all wanted to say hello to Harv and one asked if he was being trained to be a guide dog because he was so well-behaved! How cool is that? That simple little comment made me smile all the way home ;D
