Wish mine was like that !

LOL omg I am so happy I've read this thread because that is exactly what its like for me!! I get awful looks from people with their perfectly trained pooches. If I ever let Zach off the long line I get scowls from people that he tries to follow (after their dog has had a sniff then trots off)... "You should have him on a training lead really!!" ... So all I've done the last few days is keep the long line trailing behind him so I can step on it should he look like hes about to bolt... then what do I get?? Looks that could kill... as if to say "poor animal" when he gets himself tangled up... and wise-guy comments like "err... is that lead long enough for you my love?"

She turned round, bolted towards me as i was running and then promptly jumped up, and started biting my arm and tugging me to the floor so she could get the bunny. I of course did NOT give it to her after that and gave her a firm "No" at which point she kinda went 'Right then well screw you' and ran off to the dog. Since then i have tried throwing the bunny as she approaches me, she'll chase it untill it lands, then do an about turn and bolt it towards the dog again.

Oh dear... I am looking into dog trainers as I type... Our initial classes are up so we were gonna pay for a few private lessons on walks. Well I hope they are a little more helpful than yours have been...
Good luck, let me know if you have any breakthroughs...
