Yay! Welcome home Lou!!!

I am so glad that Lou is no longer afraid of dogs and she is back home with you. Normally I feel the owner and dog should train together but it sounds like you are very happy with the work they did with Lou. Are you thinking about taking any classes with Lou? She sounds smart and I bet you would both enjoy them. I look on my classes as date night with Swizzle.

Welcome home Lou! I love her long fluffy coat of course! Just me & my love of soft, fluffy, poodle hair!
Is She being a 'good girl'? What new things did she learn?

Well here goes, I know that what I am about to say is going to get me in hot water with the PF.but sorry , I have to say it. I do not walk my dogs, I have a huge back yard, however i do know 3 people who walked there dogs, 2 dogs have been killed by other dogs while being walked . Now, im from the old school, you hurt one of my dogs im going to hurt you. You will pay, might just be with MONEY, but you will pay. So, when you take youe sweet poodles, or any other dog out for a walk, why are you not takeing something to protect your animal with,?A huge stick, led pip , whatever. This way , if a dog comes running out to hurt your dog, tell the owner ( if there out there with there dog, 1 time , KEEP BACK, I WILL PROTECT MY DOG AND MY SELF !!!! I would never want to hurt another animal, but I will be damed in h---, if im going to let one of mine get hurt.Dont mean to upset any one, just dont understand. So happy that Lou was not hurt, or killed.

I also do not walk my dogs. We used to but after large dogs lunging at them, snapping at us and scaring the heck out of us on numerous occasions we moved to a new home with a fenced in backyard so our dogs could play and run in peace. I also never let them out alone. I am always with them.

Abbé Gail's Mom your statement should not put you in hot water with anyone. You have a large yard where your dog can get exercise and other dogs have been attacked in your area. With a toy you have to be so careful as even a friendly dog can be a risk so I understand your caution. I do walk my dog but most do not in my neighborhood so I do not have to worry about aggressive dogs. We also drive to a rails to trails walkway where usually it is just bicycles, roller skaters and walkers with very few dogs. Unfortunately there are too many irresponsible owners and we all need to be prepared to protect our dogs. I am thinking of carrying an umbrella. Just opening it could scare a dog off and it could act as a club as well as an umbrella. I have a large yard but Swizzle is never lose in the yard as I worry about hawks, coyotes ect.

CT thanks! We've taken classes together, she graduated intermediate class before the board and train place, and also a couple private trainer classes. I thought the 3 group play time with other dogs every day was going to be the best for her! :-)
Lou also learned 22 commands from me before any professional training. And the training will continue daily :-) i love it!

Looks like she's on the right path.
