March meant new experiences and outings for Billie. The Calgary PADS group had a couple of great classes at IKEA and RONA, and Billie was very excited with all the other dogs around. It took a lot of effort, but eventually, she settled into both experiences and did very well.
Billie is very social and always wants to meet people and other dogs. We introduced a gentle leader to help her and she has adapted well to it, and is experiencing many successes.
Billie attended YMCA yoga classes and has been on the weight room floor. She is admired by many and has done great around all the activities.
We have been walking in a very busy park with lots of other leashed dogs and people, walking/biking/running. Billie was initially very excited to experience a new environment, but she again settled into enjoying the walks with few corrections.
Billie took a Calgary city bus and Ctrain downtown, and she did really well with the movement, people, sites and smells.
