Doggie Training

Decided to go to Calahonda Park to Gary's training session for small dogs and puppies. It was a bit of an off on decision all day. Whether it would benefit Sky and going out with the little dog and leaving Shula, especially as Ken isn't here. In the past I have never worried about leaving Shula but this time I was a bit concerned about her being jealous. I decided to give her a chewy, which is what I normally do when I go out. When I got back I found she hadn't touched the chew, so she was upset, won't do that again.

It was definitely worth taking Sky to the training, Gary sat on the grass and stroked her, then took her round the park on the lead. Although she had her eyes on me all the time he got her walking normally for a short while. Just before we came home he picked her up and held her and although she was not entirely happy she wasn't shaking. Gary said she was calm and her heart beat was normal, what a break through.

Coming home we walked back round the Avenida. I don't know if it was because Sky was tired, I certainly was but she just ignored the passing traffic and didn't do her usual panic when people walked by.


Calahonda Park is closed next Sunday which is Shula's normal training day but Gary is going to have a road walk so I will take both dogs.
