Early Morning Walk
Just got back from a 6-ish am walk with Loki. It was brilliant. I'm going to list the good things that happened on our walk, because I'm very happy and proud of him :
His 'leave it' and 'drop it' were perfect. He kept picking up those tiny plastic forks you get from the chippy or wherever, and told him to drop it and he did immediately, and left everything alone that I told him to. Best of all, he found a bone and was in the middle of chewing it when I told him to drop it and he did. I only had a biscuit to bribe him with and he did it HUGE improvement. Think we're over the bone possessiveness finally.
He was on the long line, but nonetheless, his recall was also perfect.
And last but not least, there was a JRT in front of us on our way home and Loki kept willingly looking at me and looking at me when I told him to watch me. As we get closer to dogs he pulls more, but this time the pulling was minimal, completely easy to control and he was still able to focus on me as we walked past the dog and its owner. Very happy with that, it's usually a struggle.
All in all, a lovely walk hope it continues.
