Solo
I love walking the dogs solo. Dennis and I have been playing leap frog over the low wooden barriers along the pathway, weaving over them and leaping zigzags along them. He has a pretty good "over" cue and responds to my shoulder/arm movements pretty well. It makes me want to do agility with Den, but I am really enjoying our outdoor obstacle courses. He will run along cement meridians and rock walls, leap onto perches and fallen trees. We went to the dog park today with Terra and River and they ran forever. Dennis is black all over from River's muddy paws.
I took Monster out on the flexi *gasp* with a short leash in my pocket in case it was busy outside. We had the best walk doing distance sit/stays and down/stays. The flexi allows her more freedom to move with me and away from me. Monster has a really great send out and I am using the length of the flexi to work on sending her out and sharpening her recall to heel on my left. We also played some find it in the long grass. I played some LAT with her and got her to use her brain. Some kid had left their bike on a lawn and from afar it looked like a big shepherd type dog. I thought it was someone's dog until I saw the glint of metal. Monster and I played LAT and slowly got closer until she literally huffed at the bike and shook off once she realized it was just a bike and then totally played "I dunno why you were so interested Mum, it's juuust a bike, duh!" I had to chuckle. Silly collie.
Now I am curling up in bed with RABID. So far so good!
