Theo does good things IV
Oct. 15th, 2022 11:23 pmYesterday we went to Milford Haven, and did an onlead walk all along the waterfront (which has some nice open grassy areas looking out over the Haven, and also a place that was clearly once a lido, and is now a Chinese takeaway.) Pp came with us, so I was able to hand Rosie over to him and do some training practice with Theo moving him from side to side and redirecting him.
Theo passed a lot of dogs, paying attention to me rather than them!
We walked past an area where several large dogs were playing ball, and he looked at them, but didn't react. .
We passed a very tiny yorkie on a lead who was a bit nervous, and although he was quite close, Theo looked at him and then at me. The yorkie later had a total barky melt-down at another dog once we had walked away, so that was a double win.
Theo did bark at a spaniel, but the spaniel was offlead and headed straight at him. I think they would have been OK if Theo had been off the lead.
We ended up at a cafe, which was not too busy and also served a sausage for visiting hounds. Rosie is sitting on her mat that I brought with us because she is too bony to sit on the floor. It's actually a bathmat, but it is about the right size to fit into that bag with the flowers on it.
