I have received plenty of help/support from many members on here and would just like to give you an update on Charlie. My computer has been broke for a couple of weeks so I haven't been able to get online and anyway I have been really busy with Charlie.
We had him & casey along to the behaviourist which just happened to be located in a vets, well there were dogs there of course and that gave the behaviourist a good idea of what one of the problems is with Charlie, he went beserk trying to get to these dogs.
Anyway after about an hour and a halfs discussion she came up with 18 different points to work on with Charlie (she said most dogs have 8)
We are trying to implement all these changes which is very hard trying to remember them all. He is more relaxed walking through the park, picking up sticks, sniffing dogs he knows.
We aren't expecting a quick change but she reckons in 12months he will be as well behaved as casey.
He still has me very stressed out but at least I know there is hope for him if we stick to this programme set out for him.
I'd just like to say a big thankyou to all those who helped me come to the decision of sticking with him rather than getting him PTS.

Great news! Well done you, and it's great to know there's already been some improvement.
:)

Lucky Charlie! i'm sure it will all be worth the hard work in the end.

Glad to hear it.

It is so rewarding when you see your dog's behaviour improve.

Good luck

Oh brilliant! I'm so pleased to hear this, and it will be so satisfying for you to see the improvements as time goes by. 18 different points - hope you can remember them all <g>

Best wishes
