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.
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

Puppy Kira...JUST TOO CUTE!
Congrats on your one year aniversary!
You guys are lucky to have found each other, and you guys have been doing a great job with him.
I loved seeing the video clip of how he and Tilde interact. The pictures you posted in previous threads are so cute!
