What A Great Adventure I Had!

Saturdays are always good.  I was up early with Gerard and went on two walks in the neighborhood even before Karen had breakfast! 

Then, we went to the Metropark.  I was so excited when I saw all the trees on the way there because i recognized them.  At first, things started out a bit slow because Karen kept making me wait so I wouldn't pull on the leash but then I got the hang of it and since I was doing so well, we crossed the main road and continued on in the next section.  Now here comes the best part of all!

We went over to a bench to take a little rest and everything was very nice.  Karen was holding the leash but all of a sudden, it just came off so away I went!  I ran and ran and ran.  I heard Karen and Gerard calling me to come but I was having way too much fun and they sounded kind of upset too.  I took off around the bend and had so much fun running free like a wolf! 

After a little while I did turn around and head back and met a nice guy who was working on the shelter.  I stayed with him until Karen and Gerard caught up to me.  Then I stayed with Gerard while Karen went back to get the car because they didn't trust my leash anymore. 

Then we went to PetSmart to shop before our training class.  I got a brand new red collar and a new red leash that is thicker than my old one was.  In our class, we worked on the "come" command today.  I did really good in class with it!  I even won the challenge against Odot because I came and sat before she did.  Today Killer and Chewy were both friendlier to me.  Class was a lot of fun becaus we got to walk a lot again and this time I took some of Killer's treats that were just laying out.  

Here's a video of my dog training class and me getting my new red collar!  Woof!  Woof!  You even can hear me barking on it after meeting Diesel, the big black dog that came by.  Click here to read about this incident from Karen's perspective.
