Five weeks +

Checking the calendar this morning I realized I have had Sky for just over five weeks. The time has flown by and she has made quite a bit of progress. When she is round the house she is a confident happy little dog. Although when people come she won't go up to them she has given up running off and barking. Most of the time when we are out she is fine but still has the odd panick when we meet up with people. I have not yet let her off the lead but yesterday evening we met a man with his two dogs and walked with them, we have seen him quite a few times before and he thinks I should let her off. I think maybe if we see him again I will.

One of the things I am most pleased with is she is not so inclined to bark at every little sound and will stop as soon as I say no. I am still keeping the water skirter handy. In fact Carmen has just this minute opened her garage door and Sky was up ready to rush out into the garden barking but as soon as I said no she went and laid down again.
