Now that we're into the heat of summer, Piper will often find lush, damp grass and will drop to her belly, sometimes just lies still, other times she'll do the roll-thang. I try to give her whatever time is reasonable to do her antics or we'll stop while she watches something that has caught her eye. She is very good about ignoring barking, running dogs as we walk by and she's happy with whatever route I choose. I don't mind her terrier-trotting ahead as it's her happy time to be out and about...! |
Hmm. Good idea. He's home alone until I get out of work. I'll walk him tonight and let him walk and see how it goes from there. Also I need him to listen but he's smart he will not walk across the street unless I give him the ok. Of course with the leash I don't trust him off the leash.
