| Hilda gets all the distractions! tonight, first walk after being gone, I thought Boris would be rusty. nope, he was good. but no distractions came along. not even a jackrabbit or roadrunner. so then I took Hilda out. neighbor dogs rush the fence, kids on bikes ride by, two women walking, one with a dog. Hilda has finally become well behaved, and shows mild friendly interest. gets compliments even. So I think, ok, I'll take Boris out again and work with some of these distractions. nothing, nobody, nada. we walked by the neighbor's fence, no dogs, no one else in sight. very strange. we'll just have to go out somewhere. I remember when I first took Hilda to a public walking path, she lunged at everything that came along. so I guess Boris needs that kind of experience. |
