| hi Carol, I haven't played hide and seek with my pup, do you just hide and call? I can just see her going to sleep while I'm in the closet waiting! she will run after me if I run. long ago I used to just assume my dogs would come with me--I'm not sure when I started feeling anxious that they would run off. I think when I had crazy dog (sharpei) who wanted to run so bad she would jump on the bed and out an open window, screen and all, when she saw a rabbit in the desert. when she was tired, she would jump back in the window. I never knew she was doing it till she jumped back in the window and landed on a friend taking a nap in the bed! they were both surprised. And except in class, she never was easy to walk on lead. But Hilda is easy and not so eager to run. Anyway, I think finding a park with a fence for us to play in and walking unpopulated trails together will give me two different kinds of training opportunities. I think an obedience class type experience is what I really wish for...dogs and people in a controlled enviroment. thanks  |
