as you know, i have taken melissa the animal agressive dog out today!... i was a little unsure of what to expect after things i had been told by some of the work experience,

WELL.........

she was absolutely scrummy, my only regret is not taking her out sooner than today, she barked at the other dogs in their kennels on the way past, but nothing i couldnt handle,... we went for a walk down the long drive first so we could get a feel for one another, we didnt need the muzzle and we didnt need the halti .... as soon as she knew who was boss, she walked like a dream, she tried to pull for the first few mins, but what do you expect when she hasnt been walked since she has been at the kennels, after we sorted our selves out, she walked perfectly to heel on a slip lead. i took her where there would be no dogs or anyone else around and tbh i could have walked her for miles

we did see a dog from a distance and she did strain at the lead, but she was easily distracted with treats, we will slowly work our way up to gettting nearer to other dogs

with a little time and patience and maybe as an only animal in the house, melissa will make the perfect companion, she is very loving, very intellignt and quick to learn, and with the right owner who has plenty of patience and agressive dog experience, she will do just fine, in my honest opinion shes not the most agressive dog i have met, but then we havent met any on a walk yet, so time will tell

we have to find this girl a home before her time runs out and she cant be shifted about and name changed any longer

MELISSA
