Rabbits
Well Ponto was just as dog aggressive when on lead at the show last Sunday. Found a good article on Lowering Arousal: How to Train Impulse Control by Dee Ganley (http://www.deesdogs.com/documents/LoweringArousal.pdf) which I shall put into practise with all three dogs, most especially Ponto. Her hide and seek is still very much improved. This morning she caught a rabbit unfortunately, although as the countryside here is riddled with rabbits I guess it is not too distressing. Her reaction was to let me take the rabbit. She then thought perhaps this is a tuggy toy like the one she uses in her agility training, we had a short tug, I asked her to drop it then disposed of the rabbit. After that she came along with me just as she would had it really been her tuggy toy and I put it away. Not sure what to extrapolate from this behaviour.
