 Walking with 3
Okay, so I need advice on walks. How often do you take your baby for a walk? And how long is each walk? Right now I'm trying to juggle three dogs. Bentley and Charlie both bark at everything that walks by, blows by, moves at all. Haha! So I like to take them and then take Dixie seperate bc I'm concerned about her learning that behaviour. Bentley learned it from Charlie and I haven't been able to break the habit since. We have been to training and all that. I've tried everything. So, until Dixie is older and knows not to do that, id like to walk her alone. That means I need to split time between everyone. I know its important everyone goes for a walk. Dixie also goes to the dog park daily. Bentley and Charlie hate other dogs. Yea, its been tough. Bentley seems to act better w/o Charlie and he may do fine with Dixie and it be that Charlie should be walked alone. I know this sounds insane. Dixie just walks so well. She never barks or lunges and I'm so worried she will if she sees how crazy the others are. Id love to eventually walk everyone together. I don't want anyone to feel left out or like they aren't getting enough attention. Wow....I don't know how anyone does it with more than 3! 3 is tough! I just don't want 3 barking, lunging dogs. I don't know what to do! Bentley will bark until whatever he's barking at is out of his vision and around a corner. If Charlie were to walk close to another dog I worry he may try to bite it. So I am always on alert with those two. Sorry if I sound dumb. I'm sure I'm putting way more thought into this than I should be. |
