Leader of the Pack

Adventure Pack

Roger Roger couldn't stop barking at Benny when I let him off leash so he went back on before long.  It's amazing how stark the contrast in his behavior is depending on whether he's on the leash or not.  Benny put up with his packmate's antics and tried to play with him, but grew tired of being barked at and started to ignore him.  Sputnik and Rucksack were both worked up over seeing Roger Roger so worked up, and we practiced staying calm and not getting involved by turning and walking away from Roger Roger, or turning their backs and sitting in place.

Play Pack

Sadie and Milo were markedly less playful than average today.  Neither of them seem too fond of the mud.  Isaac, on the other hand, had a great time rolling around in the muddy, half-melted snow in between fetch runs and chases with other dogs.  Benny and Thompson followed their usual routine of wandering from person to person for attention, and standing firmly in place while sniffing greetings with other dogs who came by.
