Spring is here…, or is it?! Despite the rain, I have started getting out on ‘adventure walks’, which allow me to have more freedom and sniffing time on a long lead. This helps me to understand more about my environment while practicing my recall so I can be trusted to go off-leash soon.
This month, I was able to spend time with fabulous sitters, which gave me new experiences and opportunities to learn. I also continued to go to school, attend meetings, go to appointments and practice settling in public. There’s just so much to do!
