Today I did something that I have never done with a pup before. I lost my temper

Luika's training has been coming on extremely well, considering his exercise is severly limited.

At nearly 9 months old, he should be having fun in the park with other dogs and expelling the excess energy of a young dog, but sadly, he is supposed to only have two 10 minute walks a day.

I have continued his training at home, keeping his mind stimulated, pus our sessions at Barking Mad Training school. Yesterday, he was wonderful, and next week he has his assessment.

We are continuing to walk him where there are people and other dogs, but still he acts like a Manchester United supporter when a dog approaches (oops, sorry Utd fans ). Today we introduced him to one of our clients dogs, who is really laid back. Luika refused to settle and actually had me over. For a split second I lost my temper and shouted (not good at all), so I pulled myself together and put him back into the car to calm down.

I honestly felt quite ashamed of myself, since with my experience I should have known better. It doesn't bode well for Luika's test next week
