Leader of the Pack

Adventure Pack

Sputnik walked with the leash on his collar today instead of on a harness so I could control him better when he starts to get worked up about passing dogs.  It worked well and I was able to divert his attention much more quickly with only a little pressure on the leash, which resulted in him ending up having some very pleasant greetings.  Roger Roger snagged a stick that his big brother Rucksack was eyeing, right out from under his nose.  Oliver was more comfortable walking toward the front of the pack today, alongside Sputnik.  Benny kept up well; it's been quite some time since he exhibited the sudden-stop behavior that he had done in the past.

Play Pack

Sadie played rabbit in several high-speed chases with other dogs at the park.  Isaac took a few breaks from fetching to join in on a couple of those chases.  Benny leapt around goofily and I hopped in front of him to spur him on, then Sadie came and jumped on him.  Thompson took it easy and moved with the pack as we made our way around the park, from stop to stop.
