It started really well. Hailey walked beside Man to get her cookies.
Then we brought out her ball to encourage her to run a little .
FREEDOM!
Then she caught a scent (a squirrel) and into the bush she went.
Man had to go in and get her.
Off leash training was done for today!
Man, there is an evil squirrel over there!
Tomorrow Hailey has a play date in town at a dog park. She will get more off leash time then!
SQUIRREL did someone say SQUIRREL????? Have a serene easy Sunday now.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly

Dear Ojo's Cousin Lee,
ReplyDeleteI know you are truly Ojo's cousin. Here is why. This morning we were going to Car (because Car takes us fun places!). Ojo is not allowed to walk to Car with no leash on because it is outside Fence. (But I am allowed, because I am a Good Dog!)
We jumped into Car and our person took the leash off Ojo, and then - BAM. Ojo was gone. There was an Evil Squirrel in the Yard of Neighbour, up in an oak tree. Ojo barked and jumped and tried to climb the tree. She would not come back, even though our person had Chicken Liver Pate, which is the best ever. I think she didn't even hear our person, to be quite honest. She was very focussed on the Evil Squirrel up the tree!
Finally our person went into Yard of our Neighbour (fortunately they are nice and like Dogs) and put the leash back onto Ojo. Ojo did not mind (she is good about Leash because it usually means yummy stuff). But she would not walk. So our person picked up Ojo and carried her back to Car.
I waited patiently all that time. The back of Car was open, but I did not even climb out. Do you know why? Because I am a Good Dog.
And you and Ojo must truly be cousins.
Happy squirrel hunting!
Cobi
Pee Ess Have fun with your Dog Park Play Date tomorrow!
Squirrels ruin everything. We're glad we don't have them here. Cats are bad enough for us.
ReplyDeleteWe hope Hailey will get MORE off leash training so she can race around.
Squirrels taste better than cookies any day.
ReplyDeleteSounds like she is doing pretty good though? Enjoy your doggie playdate! :)
