Scrim is leveling up, y’all! Thanks to , we graduated from “home turf” training (the house, Zeus’ buildings, and our neighborhood) and took our show on the road to Audubon Park.
Now, if you know Scrim’s backstory, you know he logged plenty of solo miles in that park back when he was on the lam. So, I’ll admit, I was a little nervous. Would he bolt? Would he freeze? Would he give me the paw and say, “Sit happens...just not todayi?
Nope. From the second his paws hit the ground, his tail was in overdrive and he was ready to learn. He nailed his recall, worked those commands like a pro, and showed me just how far he’s come.
Bonus discovery: Scrim is a world-class squirrel hunter. He spots one, his body locks up like a statue, eyes laser-focused… and then BAM! He’s off. Pair that with Scooby’s obsession with ducks, and our park outings are basically a live-action Animal Planet special.
We’re building up to walking the entire track. No small feat since strangers, bikes, joggers, and rollerbladers still spook him. But hey, if Scrim can go from runaway to recall rockstar, I know he’ll crush this goal too.
