Well thank you! We did great Friday, pretty good yesterday, and today Charlie was testing me to see if I am really, really not going to let him pull. Still whatever made him "see the light" on Friday is mostly sticking with him.

Before Friday he just hadn't figured out that he was supposed to walk without pulling. He really didn't understand what I wanted from him. Today he knows he's not supposed to pull (I could tell by his "new" eye contact and attention when we walked backwards a few steps) and he is just being a rebellious teenager!

If I have any good advice for you and Westin, it is not to ever, ever let him start pulling. It's really hard to reverse and retrain.
