This week we started going to behaviour class again, Edward did really well when we were there on Monday, perfect stay and recall. It was too good to be true...this morning he woke me up by howling continuously for 30 mins, then he was the naughtiest he has ever been at the woods where all the dogs play. He shot off round the corner and vanished, no reaction to me whistling and calling. I had to ask a few people if they'd seen him before I began to hear lots of barking. Ran about 300 metres before I could see him terrorising a small black lab, which was growling and snapping at him. If a dog is smaller than him he takes no notice of the signals, he just carries on trying to play with them. I did manage to catch him and put him back on the lead, but he wasn't interested in paying any attention to me - no reaction to commands or treats! Just yanking as hard as possible every time he saw another dog, he's usually really relaxed on the lead, and always comes when I call him. I hope this doesn't last...
