She's responding, but it's very slow going. If I had a yard It would be much better, but I won't risk taking her off of a leash to explore the surroundings. She loves the dog park on our property, though, and that really helped her. |
Chewie had a 20 minute lesson on Wednesday. We coaxed her out the door and gave her a few more treats. I think she had a bit too many, because she has WICKED smelling toots right now. She had one lesson and is now walking. Treats, constantly on leash and harness. coax her into both using treats (or him.. I'm sorry I've forgotten the gender!) She even did well when one of our other condo owners let her obese chihuahua off his leash, against rules. Even when he lifted her up sniffing her. She was a little trooper and walked around with that Yeah, I'm Chewie and you know i'm awesome look. After how scared my little big heapum brat was with the walking, I'm certain your little puppers will be walking soon.
