Walking at the Park
I just got a new dog, no photo yet. It’s a small dog, 9.1kg or about 20lbs. His name is Bogus, yes ‘Bogus’ as in fake. He’s afraid of other dogs and people too. He’s never been on a walk before. Bogus didn’t even know what a walk was. He only went to patches of grass to have his pees and poops.
He’s learning to walk with me now. Our walks are a shared experience, it’s team building. The bonding happens on the walks. Bogus is still getting used to our walks. Now, our daily ’long walk’ is about an hour long. The problem is that I need to go to places with a low number of people and no off-leash dogs, like the local parks.
I’m going through a similar process as Hector did when I took his photo. When Hector got his dog, Bernie, Bernie was used to walking what Hector calls the “fishing line” leash. So Bernie, his dog, was all over the place, in front or running toward another dog… It took Hector almost a month to teach Bernie how to walk together.
Bogus is still a work in process.
Walking with your dog is more than just exercise, it’s an adventure. So, why not make the most of it? If you’d like some help capturing these magical moments, just contact me at: https://www.sritch.com/contact
