Progress!

To work on improving loose leash walking, we've been taking short walks of 10-30 minutes at a time, for just over a week now. Tonight, I saw the first huge mark of progress in Lotte: I was able to get her from the car, onto the agility field for class, with no pulling! Was she as focused on me and as close to me as I'd like? No, but she kept a loose lead, didn't try to dart ahead, and did so with other dogs and horses around. I'm especially proud, because I didn't expect her to keep her cool around so much distraction, so soon. This is just huge for us. :)
