Proud moment for me!

    Proud moment for me!

    Willow and I were just walking at a field near our home.  We go there at least once a day. 
     
    All of a sudden I hear a lot of barking but we can't see anything.  I finally noticed a lady (who I've seen before) walking three dogs.  Well, walking one chi and one schnauzer and she had one doxie with her that was not on leash.  He was the one who was barking at Willow.  He sounded kind of like an old man, I 'm senile kind of bark. 
     
    Well, he came running at us and guess what??? My girl, just looked at him and stared.  He kept coming and barking and Willow didn't do anything reactive!  I was SO proud.  All this time, the lady is yelling at the dog and dragging the other two who were on leash to try to catch up.  The other two are now also barking and lunging, especially the chi, he seemed a little like he'd probably bite, showing teeth and all.  The lady was yelling and going oh, my God, etc. Like she's so worried about Willow attacking HIM!  But, HE's not on leash and HE's the one chasing US and barking at US. 
     
    But, I thought everyone whose been reading about Willow's dog aggression issues would get a kick out of this.  She was sooo good and she knew it, she turned and looked at me and we walked away.

    [sm=clapping%20hands%20smiley.gif][sm=wink2.gif]Way to go Willow!!
     
    What gets me is why in the heck would the lady leash 2 of her dogs (the small ones at that) and not the third.  Quess we'll never know why people do the crazy things they do.

    Lori, congratulations.  I don't post as often as many, but I've been reading this board for a year now and I've been following Willow's story.  I think you're doing a really amazing job and I really respect you for working so hard.
