I'm not sure whether to be furiously angry or just be extremely happy.
As many will now me and Kyle had a set back the other day and I set my mind today that I would overcome this and today training would start. So this morning, we did the treat in my palm thing, building my confidence with him and it was great. After work, after drying off, we had major torrential rain in Scotland, no joke.. Streets were flooded lol. Anyways I decided I would take him a walk as this will help up bond.
Obviously he pulls a little but I'm quite good with the lead and I got him walking mostly to heel pretty quickly, albeit till her smelt something, he is still interested in everything..

I am so proud of him, he was fantastic on the walk, yes he still pulls but it's a work in progress, we practised waiting at the road and obviously walking to heel. He did really well.
Just as we were nearing home, some drunken a**wipe and his friends stopped us saying "Can you handle a dog like that?" to which I replied "Yes." And he then proceeded to grab Kyle's face, quite roughly and sort of pushed him from side to side and was acting aggressive towards him, pretend growling, pushing him and saying "You gonna bite me you evil dog, eh come on bite me" As much as he's shown no aggression so far my heart did stop, and even a little bit of me wanted him too but Kyle just looked at me, and I smiled saying "obviously not" As we walked off side by side.

I am still furious with that man as I could hear him when we walked away talking about how EBTs are vicious dog and I couldn't control the dog due to my size! But you know what I am so proud of Kyle, he did fantastically well on our first walk, and I wish I had taken a picture to show you the state he came back in, covered in mud lol. And it's really boosted my confidence with him.
He is now curled up in his bed, sound asleep, think he is knackered. I'm really so proud of him

Well done for staying calm. The guy was just an a-hole.

Good for you

Well done Kyle, what a good lad you are, and well done MissBexi - I don't know how I would have reacted in that situation but you did brilliantly. What a stupid, stupid man. It almost makes you wish Kyle had bitten him but then that would have done Kyle no favours if the man had reported him even though he goaded him. You must be so proud of Kyle. Good luck with the rest of your training, you'll get there!

Thank you all so much..

I'm still so surprised at Kyle's reaction and mine, cause I know that even Bailey at time will mouth you at least, But Kyle didn't even open his mouth, he just looked at me like "look at this idiot"
I know that a few people stopped to see what was going on, cause being drunk he was talking very loudly.. And I hope it maybe made some people realise that these Bull breeds aren't all aggressive as they are made out.

I'm so proud of him and thankfully I got him a lovely treat for tonight which is thoroughly deserves.. I have such fab 3 furbabies, I honestly couldn't be happier and it's definitely what both me and Kyle needed. Roll on the rest of our training

Lets hope we do become best of bud, Kyle's meant to be my OH's dog, that won't please him lol

This is wonderful news. After your other post I felt sure you and the dog would never become friends. He acted wonderfuly to a stressful situation and to hear how proud you are of him is great to hear. I hope this is the start of a great friendship.
