He is never left alone with children as she doesn't trust him anyway. He is absolutely wonderful with other dogs - all other dogs. He is walked on lead at all times now - although it is a long line - when my friend walks him on her own, but if I walk with her then he is allowed offlead because I have a steady young lab boy that he can both run with, chase with and come back with. Apart from pulling (which is mostly controlled now by a body harness), he doesn't have any other problems with being onlead. The story of the patterdale is one which we've discussed many times and we have wondered whether he'd be happier having a job to do :err: She's not tried anything like the Masterplus collar but does have a rattle bottle after the behaviourist introduced one during her visit. Maybe the breeding's not as far out as we thought then ;) The collie thing wouldn't be a huge shock either because he does the whole herding thing as well :rolleyes:
