Thanks you lot. We're still getting used to her not being about.

We did a lot of research on the socialisation class and used one of Attilla's behaviourists with Hagrids  defensive aggression (attacked by two JR's). Although we didnt get past Hagrids problem, I think it was me to be honest, that and there is a huge amount of off lead out of contrl dogs in the area to gradually de-sensatise him, we did manage it with frisbee's ;D for off lead before she went back to Switzerland.

Dizzy still worries about people but she'll get there, no problems with kids however :o

Thinking about taking her to a market here with us that has crowds of people, or do you think that will be too much?

who is atilla? i am sure i have missed something somewhere...  :-\

and yes take her to the market - that would be my humble non professional advice anyway.  ;D if it all seems too much for her keep round the edges at what she's comfortable with.  :)
