Another good talk. Maizie has also been an excited/nervous pee pee girl mostly with males but can be with anyone new. She has definitely grown out of it a fair bit from learning confidence & some calmer greetings & exposure I guess. She still does it with my hubby, more so when he comes home from work but not all the time. What would you suggest in this situation to help her learn not to do it? Also you asked about dreams/goals. When I got Maizie I said I wanted to be very different with this dog & really work on training her so I could have a calm & obedient dog that could easily be in our lives & I could take most places & it be a pleasure & easy without being a nuisance basically. I planned to do puppy school & then join the local (Albion Park dog training) group & go to classes regularly because I thought they are affordable & I could continue to go for years if I wanted to so I could get an awesomely trained dog. Little did I know Maizie was going to be as difficult as she has been & so that idea went out the window & I quickly became a Walkys member just to try & survive each day with her. Lol🤣🤣 So my absolute dream would be to have Maizie as well trained as all of your dogs. So you 3 & your dogs are my goals & dreams. Right now this does feel totally unachievable 🤣🤣🤣 but honestly I'd settle for half as good as yours. I've met & seen @Sian Isaac & @Lex Stephens dogs & assume yours @Nath Morrison are as well behaved/trained also. 💜😊

@Nath Morrison look, call me stupid but I'm also trying to find your pdf or plan of yesterday's session & I thought I downloaded the link at one point & now can't find it anywhere. I'm one who doesn't retain all the info & likes to go back to a step by step instructions of it so I can start this week. I've tried a little bit today from remembering from yesterday but definitely need a plan to follow. Please explain again where I find this or how to download it. Sorry. Lol🤣💜😊

So we visited Maui today @Sian Isaac @Lex Stephens & although Maizie still not actually bleeding he was quite sniffy of her rear end today & so we didn't let them play & kept them on leads. When we left he sooked & ran around the house sniffing where she'd been & sooking for Maizie which he's never done before. So I'm guessing she's very close now. I think it's probably best if Maizie doesn't go to Walkys this Thursday & the weeks ahead until she's all done with her 1st season. Otherwise she'll upset all the male dogs or potentially have an accident that will result in puppies. Lol🤣💜😊

@Sian Isaac yes, thank you & I'll keep you posted as to when she'll be back. It's going to be a tough few weeks for us without Walkys & Maui & outdoor socialisation. Lol. At least we can still go for walks near my house that's often quiet during the day anyway. Today there was no one about & we even got some ball throws without me holding the end of the long line. So quite the freedom today (scary for me finally letting go. 🤣) but she stayed with me mainly because of the ball no doubt. 🤣💜😊

Thanks for the update, I was ready thinking it was today & then saw on the calendar it's tomorrow. Hopefully I'll finally be able to watch live tomoz. Thaaaanks 💜😊

That's Fantastic work. 👏💜😊

@Lex Stephens haha yes, I can definitely understand the overexcitment being a huge distraction. That's my Maizie girl most of the time. Does things fab at home with no distractions add something exciting (like a human, ball or child) then she has absolutely zero impulse control. Lol🤣 I'm really just spending my time working on the basics that are very necessary, we'll get to more things in the future maybe once we're great at basics. Lol🤣💜😊
