We got thoroughly soaked today. H was testing me a little bit today when the dogs came running out. She did better the rest of the time. It was windy and rainy the entire walk. Luckily, H's coat is built to repel the water, so she wasn't wet at all below the surface..

H and I went on another brisk walk today. It snowed on us a bit, the wind blew, and the sun came out. We had a full day and got to play some ball after the trip up the hill.

Happy Thanksgiving!! We took a leisurely stroll until we came across a lady walking 2 dogs at the end of the walk. H got really excited and tried to run.. I was able to keep her with me. Overall, good walk. She is beginning to test me, but we are working well together. I love how she "swims" through the deep leaves.

We had a brisk walk today. H and I had fun also because we were able to cover more ground on the cool day. I filled her water bowls and put her back in her fenced area.

H was in her fenced area when I came over. I called for her and that's how I figured out where she was. She was extremely excited to go out and tested me a little bit during the walk. It was a cool morning and there were a few others out walking, so it was great practice for H. She was still excited at the end of the walk, so I threw the ball for her for a while.. I put her back in her fenced area when we were done, because that's where she started. We had an eventful morning!

H and I had a great day. She was super excited for her walk and jumped out of the car on her own! She had been jumping into the car fine, but coming out at the bottom of the hill was not what she wanted to do. So congrats! She and I had a nice stroll and she definitely was loving the deep leaf piles! I'll see if I can get her on video later this week, so you all can see how she's doing.

L was hyper today, so we came out and had lots of running around time before and after we circled the block. It was a great time!

We saw another loose dog on our walk today. Everyone who passed by knew him and he actually went away when I asked him to. H and I had to do a big loop to get the excitement of the meeting out of her system. She was doing great otherwise. We had a fun romp around the neighborhood and took some new paths.

It was a breezy, cool afternoon. L enjoyed all the leaves blowing around. :) She did great as usual.. We had time to play after we circled the block.

We did the same walk today. It was mostly smooth and uneventful, except when we ran into two dogs that were loose. They came towards us barking and growling, but they stopped in front of us. They eventually went away when I made a loud enough noise.. H was great. She was protective, but aware that I was there. Excellent.

The sunny day today was awesome! We circled the block had time for L to sniff around during the walk. The mailman gave her another dog biscuit and she was super excited to see the mail truck as usual.
Overall great day

Welcome! H and I had a great, long walk today!! She was excellent with the new collar and we didn't have any issues, except when there were dogs running in their yards barking. Even then, H was still listening to me when I asked her to walk with me. Excellent day!!

Beeeutiful day today. This shot shows L and her cool, prancing walk. Thanks so much for the treat container!! I've filled it with all sorts of fun things already! L did great and although someone stopped to talk to us for a bit, she and I made it around the block. She sat neatly by my feet and was showing how well behaved she is.. She is awesome!

I got another cool picture of the boys today in the low light.. The background looks all swirly! It was cold and breezy and the boys did well. I got a note from a friend of yours to bring them by her office, but I looked around and she wasn't there. Have a wonderful trip! You must be excited to get back!

It was another sunny day today and we had no issues out on our walk. She was exceptionally excited and we had fun running around after leaves and then practicing tricks.

It was definitely brisk on our walk today! I had to coax T out of the room again and we were off at a quick pace to keep warm. The wind started gusting more and more during the walk, so we were almost at a jog by the time we got back. We had fun. They had lots to sniff and check out with all the leaves flying around and the leaf piles that were taller than they were!

L and I had a spirited walk around the block. It was actually sunny and warm the whole way until the end when the wind started blowing. We saw some other people walking two rather large dogs. I said hi and as we were walking near them, the smaller of the 2 dogs broke free of its handler and I scooped L up, so there was no contact. It was an eventful walk, but L wasn't phased, so that's good.. We went around the whole block again and had a good time overall.

Thanks for the card!! The boys did great today. T was hesitant to come out and both were snuggled on their beds until I asked them to come with me. We went a little earlier today, but still after 5. The boys and I enjoyed some daylight and the long walk.

L was excited to be out today. She was sniffing everything. Our walk was a little shorter in distance, but we had lots of exploring time. We played in the piles of leaves and then had some time to practice tricks and had a cuddle.

T was a little worn out like you said, but I got him to keep going. After a while, he was able to shake it off and keep up with S. We had a great time and kept to the well lit areas. They were sparky by the mid to the end of he walk and we ran around a bit in the room and played a bit.
