The dog walker and Mojo
Mojo and I had a nice walk this morning. It wasn't too hot yet and there was an occasional breeze. Since we were just walking, I thought I'd try to challenge him a little mentally and make him pay attention to me. We'd walk and I'd ask him to sit or we'd be walking along and I'd do a 180 and turn around. It made him pay attention to what I was doing. We even walked by a dog in a fence yard that was barking up a storm and I asked him to sit and he did. However, then we were being approached by a very rambunctious schnauzer and I asked him to sit but he was too distracted. We walked a few steps and I asked him to sit again. Still too distracted. On the 3rd try after walking a few steps and asking him to sit he did. He did see a rabbit on the walk and that was really exciting! He cocks his head really funny and it makes me laugh. He's great on the leash though - he never pulls at all even when he's excited like that! He really is a good boy..... with lots of energy!
