Dylan's urine is finally back to normal. I am very relieved about that!
He also seems less reactive, particularly also on the lead. He seems to just walk past dogs now without a fuss! Even walked past our neighbour's dogs yesterday and although he was interested, there was no barking or lunging.
Today, I wanted to see how he was off-lead with other dogs as I have kept him away from them really. I muzzled him (and Flash) just to be on the safe side. All went great, we met some dogs and no problems at all... until a Golden Retriever approached. Whether that was how Dylan would have reacted anyway or whether it was me tensing up because Dylan has had problem with them in the past, I don't know. I held on to Dylan, and when the dog came up to him, Dylan went for him (still muzzled though). So I am not sure... Also, what didn't help was a labrador yesterday that kept coming over to us whilst Dylan and Flash were on lead and going mad - and the owner didn't get the dog and let him run back to us at least three times...
But overall I am pretty happy with Dylan. Perhaps some socialisation walks would be good - now that it's light a bit longer in the evening, I could do it either Wednesday or Friday evenings...
