1 99 day old Dodger on a walk.... We are on an evening walk, practicing leash skills and building confidence. Dodger's lowered tail reveals his lack of confidence.
2 Who's glowing eyes? Its a kitty!
3 Its NOT our kitty, tho! We keep our distance from the strange kitty. He might have been friendly, but I wasn't going to take a chance with an unconfident pup - it might traumatize him if the kittty attacked him.
4 Dodger spies the way...... We walk off leash, but Dodger feels no more confident off leash than on. Here he spies the way home.. is that our house down there?
5 Home he goes! Tail at half mast, Dodger feels more confident about going home than leaving home!
6 Bennie's turn! Bennie zooms out on the flexi-lead, tail up and confident!
7 Checking it out..... At 15 weeks Bennie has been lifting his leg for one month! He is very interested in the scent posts left by other dogs.
8 Bennei zooms ahead..... To greet our cat Goliath!
9 Out in front! Bennie strains to get ahead!
10 Off leash! Tail is up! Bennie is a very confident and outgoing boy!
11 What's this? Bennie finds a pidgeon feather!
12 What the?? Who is coming our way?
13 Goliath! Goliath takes his own kitty time to follow.
14 Dumpster time! The dumpster has mice and other critters and Goliath and Bennie can't help but check it out.
15 On to the playgound area... Following their noses!
