Leader of the Pack

The Adventure Pack

Benny and Oliver stuck close by as they explored the smells along the trail while off leash with each other.  Rucksack was pulling quite a bit so we worked on his on-leash walking.  Every time he started pulling ahead consistently, we turned around and took several strides in the other direction before heading back down the trail.  Coco was along for the ride and kept her attention on me without pulling ahead.  By the end of the hike, Rucksack was pulling noticeably less.

The Play Pack

Coco, Benny, and Maverick had a lot of fun together running around the tree stump.  Benny or Coco would slip into the main entrance after Maverick and then Maverick would pop out of a narrower opening in the back that his packmates couldn't fit through.  After a little while, Coco decided a big stick was more interesting and ran around while dragging it behind her.  Benny played with a couple other pups at the park, including his pal Jengo and a young Burmese Mountain Dog/Australian Shepherd mix.
