Result!!! So proud of Leto

On yesterday’s walk, Leto and I were playing a focus game while he was on his long line when I heard shouting and a big black lab was charging towards him growling. I had a moment of pure panic but Leto turned to face it without a sound and just glared, which stopped it running but still growling. It gave me time to encourage Leto to come away a bit but he was understandably reluctant to turn his back on it and walk away so I asked for middle. He did it (phew) so we just stood there while the owner took quite a long time getting his dog to come away and be put on the lead. A bit more playing and off we went with Leto totally relaxed. Not so long ago it would have been a very different outcome as I would have really struggled to stop Leto going into full defensive mode and fighting back.
