The morning group went to Southland. It was a warm up (so to speak) for the afternoon group. Everest, Jin, Ryder, Rover and Whistler were all so well behaved. Rover had a grin on his face from ear to ear as he went about hunting for those darn mice. Jin always enjoys his adventures with his pals and gets so excited that he does a little dance for me on Monday mornings. Even Ryder was in a good mood this morning (some days he wakes up cranky).
The afternoon group was a little more fiesty but only for the first few minutes. We played a vigorous game of fetch that everyone participated in except for Sol and Aija. They had other things to do besides chasing tennis balls. Gabby, Pina, Bailey and Sam really got into the game and of course the boxer sisters, Destiny and Taylor just went along for the exercise. When we arrived at Edworthy there was two other dog walkers waiting to park and at least two others who had just unloaded. There must have been close to 50 dogs in the immediate area for at least five minutes and not one fight, curled lip or growl was heard. I was extremely proud of my group for their friendly behaviour. By the time the walk was over the heat was getting to the dogs and they happily lapped up 4 litres of water and settled down for an afternoon nap.
Everest and I have taken two of Larry's training classes. Please consider attending this seminar.
