and she told me very strongly to "LEAVE IT", Eccles ran back to her mum who put her on the lead. After that i was asked to sit by mum in front of Eccles and Panda while the humans talked! Alan said to us all, that he thought my aggression was partly normal, he said in the case with Eccles, she had ran up to me, invaded my space and i was defending that as i'm not comfortable with other dogs in my comfort zone. Panda's mum disagreed and said she would have made me roll over into the Alpha roll that Cesar Milan does!!!! Thank dog Alan said he would not use that method, he asked Panda's mum what dogs she thinks she'd be able to do that too and she said she'd done it to her own, Alan said "And you think you could do that to an Akita or GSD do you" and she didn't know BOL. She then went on to say that i should be able to read that Eccles was friendly and was not threatening. She said, if it's ok for me to defend my space then why don't all dogs act that way? Mum agreed, she doesn't think it's ok for me to attack any dog that comes near me! Eccles owner even thinks i was in the right to defend myself like i did. Personally i like these people who give me the right to attack 
BOL. But mum doesn't want this to continue. Alan said that Terriers are very hard to "mould" they are free spirits and need constant training and management. Eccles owner said that she has to put in 110% with Eccles and said that even yesterday Eccles was doing her own thing. Mum had to laugh because it's so true, if anyone reading this has a Terrier you'll understand what they mean Alan said i'm the Alpha female, no matter what size dogs we have in our family ( Ty and Ted ) i will always be above them, hence me putting Ted in his place at times. But his summary was that i'm not that bad, he's seen a lot worse and said if i was truly aggressive i would have been bee-lining the other dogs when i was on my long line where instead i CHOSE to obey mum by following her when she walked off. Least that say's i have good recall right? 
Oh and can i just add that Alan had hold of the long line at all times! Then Mum took over again while a Cocker Spaniel called Davey walked back and forth by me, again i strained on the lead and mum instantly corrected me with a sharp noise ( she wasn't as good as Alan though BOL ) Then i sat there and mum used the "watch me" command, again i didn't take my eyes off her and got praised wildly. Then it was a Border Collie type of dog, i showed a bit of tension, i was corrected and made to sit and watch mum. Alan was whispering to Anita and mum heard them say that i have a lot of potential, he said i was very highly intelligent and that mum has a good dog on her hands Really, little old me?? I always said i was a Princess Can i just say that i've never been on or near any Agility equipment in my life! First off was the Dog walk, i was led up by a juicy treat and straight away i made the contact points. I did manage to jump off a couple of times but then Anita and Mum blocked me so i couldn't do that. I did that 4 times and by the end i was walking steadily across and sitting on top for my treat. Then came the Tyre jump...Auntie Kirsty stood holding me and mum called me through the other side. The first 3 tries all i would do is put my paws on the tyre, i got rewarded for this as at least i was touching the tyre. Then i jumped through! and again after that! Wow, mum was so happy. Then we tried a smaller and tighter tyre jump. 2nd go i was jumping through like a pro! Then we did hurdles and i LOVED them. I managed to jump all of them apart from the rather large last one. The second from last one i cleared and it was bigger then me in height BOL.
