    Thanks... In some ways he is almost like an other dog now compared to when we got him :) But it has been much work to come to this point. In most parts it has been about educating me and my wife as dog handlers.

    Thank you guys!

    Melissa - Tilde and Viggo are really best friends. He does almost anything she want him to do. When Viggo came to us Tilde was very reserved and a bit afraid of him. Before Viggo she was also shy and didn't want to take place and in larger groups of kids. So I decided to bring her along with me and Viggo on our morning walks. First we went to the woods a while and after that to the dog park to train.

    The first time Tilde came along she brought a big stick with her to the dog park, she was going to play with Viggo there :) I told her that he would push her in to the gravel when she started to wave the stick in front of her. Did she listen? Nooo ;) Viggo ran over to her and of course she got overturned in to the gravel. I tought; shit now she'll never wanna come along again. But she really surprised me when just got up on her feet and wanted to play with Viggo again. After that I started to let her train some basic obedience with Viggo. It's amazing how fast she manage learn how to interact with Viggo. So after about a couple of weeks of training them together she became like a real pack leader. She has also got a great faith in her self and started to be a lot stronger around other kids. Even the child-minders at the day nursery said that they saw big different in how Tilde behaved among the other kids :D

    Martin, that is wonderful! Animals can have such a good impact on kids, and vice versa when things are done right. Yay for Viggo and yay for Tilde!!
