What a scare I had today! I took Maxi out across the street of my house. I live in a community development. He got spooked and a little Houdini got out of his harness!
He got scared of this lady who was getting her mail and started pulling. The next thing I know he is out of his harness. He kind of stood still for a moment as he was wondering what happened. I looked around if there were any cars coming in order to figure out what to do best. Thank god the speed limit is 15 miles per hour in my community. My streets in development are tiny. So as I realized there were no cars at all I calmly said Maxi lets go home quick. He ran to the house which was few steps from us and then I ordered him to stay which he did. He knows stay and lets go home commands very good. I made the harness tighter and we continued to walk around.
Make sure your baby knows the stay command as it is very important and can save your little one's life. When they get spooked they panic and sometimes might not listen to the command so you have to be as calm as you can.
