Hi Paula and David

I just want to say thank you so much!  I didn't think it was possible to see a change so quickly.  Otis has been doing great.  As you may recall Rob is out of town this weekend so last night it was just him and I---and I was seriously impressed with this behavior !

 I feel like I'm in control and he has respect for me. I even stuck to not letting him in our bed which we started the same night you guys were here.  He tried one time to get on the bed with me but I put him where he belongs and he stayed.  It was hard but I kept telling myself this is the way it has to be as David told my husband he is not in the right frame of mind to be in our bed at this point. 

We've also been doing great with boundaries ...keeping him out of our space etc while preparing his food.

Sincerely,

Victoria Monk- Sylvester
