Karma gets a gold star today!! Oh I'm just so thrilled! We've been taking treats with us on walks since Thursday's meeting at k9 Playhouse with Connie Apling! <------Amazing woman. The treats help redirect her focus and associate other dogs with yummy snacks. We also found a great trail for walking. Not sure why I haven't taken advantage of it up til now. Anyway, we deviated from the trail and ventured back into our neighborhood where we'd have a better chance of a dog encounter. Although it had been a short time, I was ready to test the waters of our new training techniques.
And dogs we did encounter. Some people were sitting on their porch with 2 dogs and they came charging after Karma. Karma of pre-Thursday would have charged back. Karma post Thursday enjoyed some yummy ham! She raised her mohawk just a bit, but was much more interested in the tasty snack than the stupid dogs who were sniffing her butt. The owners came down so apologietic of their dogs and impressed by her. What a GOOD dog they said! They got their dogs and we were on our way without incident! And a compliment to boot! Good thing the neighborhood is on RED ALERT to watch out for my pack of dogs on the loose. We are a frightful bunch.
