I tried walking Bentley and Dixie together today. Figured I could try those two together first, then add Charlie if all went well. After about one block we ended up heading back to the house because Bentley saw a dog across the street and had a fit. Being small it isn't much of a big deal, just embarrassing. Dixie on the other hand, thought Bentley was trying to play and starting bouncing all over the place, dragging me down the sidewalk (she's a boxer). And then of course the leashes got all tangled. Bentley upsets me so much with this bc we went through so much training. He is supposed to test for his CGC but there's no way we will pass with all that hysterical barking. In every other way he's amazing. Around other dogs and on walks its like he forgets I'm there and that he needs to be well mannered. I'm wondering if maybe I work on training more with Dixie, get her to a good heel or at least loose leash walking, if it would be easier. Bc although she doesn't bark and get all crazy, she isn't nearly as obedient as Bentley. Charlie has horrible anxiety. He's my baby but being rescued the day he was to be put down I think he was just so traumatized. I've had him over 4 years and still if I walk out the front door he thinks I will never come back. Ugghhh....! Walking 3 is def a job and a skill that I will be working on for years to come I think. Haha! They all love their walks tho so its worth the effort. I feel so bad right now though bc I'm having such a hard time with it. |
