The distance at which Tia reacts to little dogs is definitely getting smaller. We were walking on the other side of a narrow road behind three small dogs earlier today and she's now happy to stand and watch them quietly while receiving lots of treats for doing so. That's been several small dogs in the last few days that she's not reacted to, so I must be doing something right!
She did bark at another Staffy but that was my fault, I could have waited behind a car but I chose not to, thinking that the road was wide enough for it to be enough distance for her but it wasn't. I think it's better to over estimate her threshold rather than under estimate it like I did today, so next time I'm in a similar situation I'll guess that she will react, rather than guessing she won't.
