    It sounds like a good improvement to me. Approaching without being called, to see whether there is a treat going spare? That's good, normal, relaxed doggy behaviour. Hope it continues to develop!

    Glad you all had a great holiday and it sounds like Gem did too. Keep going, like everyone has said all progress means your getting there. xx :)

    Sounds like you're making good progress! Keep up the good work!

    I suspect the difference in behaviour between being on holiday and then being back home is that when coming back home he has memories of what it was like before, whereas on holiday it was like a clean slate so he had no expectations of what would happen.

    I think just doing the things you are doing as they seem to be working!

    Sounds like you had a wonderful holiday, how fantastic Gem enjoyed the company of other people and their dogs. Small steps I guess, now back at home, but it all sounds very encouraging! :) :)

    It's good to hear from you. I've wondered how you are all getting on.

    Glad you had a good holiday and it sounds like Gem had a lovely time. ;D

    Little improvements at home are better than nothing so keep going you will get there.

    Good excuse to keep going on holiday. ;)

    The holiday sounds great & as others have said, asking for a treat is a step forward. Hope things continue to improve.
