We want to help you and your dogs! The crew and I are thinking of doing a zoom style meeting or webinar for different topics each week.

The Internet has gotten to be an overwhelming place for so many and group class or private is still a limited amount of time to learn all things dog.

So, what would be a topic that helps you??

Crate training 101
Resource guarding prevention and early treatment
Ins and outs of walking tools
Dog food, chews, treats and deciphering ingredients
Grooming 101
Understanding heat cycles
Helping your aging pet
Reactivity 101
Fear periods

Storytime

I've been trying to get in several miles a day for my own health (and the dogs) and like to walk to a park near my house in Brentwood. It's a park next to a school with a playground, baseball fields and a big walking path around it.

I was walking Oscar (Pirah's nephew visiting for training, on the left) and Pirah (on the right) along the foot path when lady with a small terrier mix was gaining on me, her dog at the absolute end of a flexi lead, a big smile on her face.

I pulled over into the grass (between the two baseball games) and didn't make eye contact and my dogs were just sniffing.

She stood still as a statue, directly across from us while her dog whined, tugged, lunged and spun at the end of the leash.

I said, "No. We aren't greeting. Sit." To my two dogs as a way of communicating to her without taking my attention off them.

They happily obliged and she drug her dog away, scoffing.

Here is where it gets more interesting....

She gets to her destination, with her kid at the baseball dug out. He's got his adorable uniform on and is probably 6 years old. She hands him the dog's leash.

I made a wide berth to pass, opposite end of the grass, about 30 feet from them. My dogs are walking forward side by side and suddenly there is the terrier, snarling, trying to climb UP my dogs and it's flexi lead is wrapped entirely around my legs as it was locked in a long leash position.

Thankfully both Oscar and Pirah just stood there like ummm what?

I'm trying to untangle my legs and grab the leash and the lady is YELLING at her kid for letting go rather than grabbing her dog!

I untangle and get a grip on the leash and pull him off and holding him outstretched to the side as my dogs calmly stand.

She's still being slow coming over.

I think all I managed to say was, "Oh my goodness. Get your dog. Seriously."

She got him, I walked on and she kept lecturing her kid.

So what are the morals of the story here?

- This is one of the many reasons we say no on leash greetings. You don't know the intent the dog has.
- Children should not be holding dog's leashes that are not fully trained. Especially reactive dogs.
- Please please train your dogs to handle environments you are going to. That was a choice this person made going to a busy park and ballgame with a dog that wasn't adequately trained to handle that environment and situations that came with it.
- Flexi leads are only good for wide open spaces with no people, dogs or stuff for it to get wrapped around. I used to call mine the "vacation" or "beach" leash.

Big kudos to these two, a young intact male that doesn't live with me and my girl that is unfortunately used to such shenanigans in public.
