Jack - 21 November 2012

Wednesday, 21 November 2012

10.00am:   Had a lead walk down to the beach. As Jack likes to pull we put on him an Easy Walk Harness. We can control him much better especially near big busy roads like Beach Road where there are lots of big trucks. Jack tried to lunge at a truck. We made him sit down and ignore the cars that were going by.
1.00pm  :   Took Jack to the park, where he played fetch with his friends. He still needs to see that we have a second ball before he will drop the one he has. Jack now understands the game however he gets impatient and tries to lunge for the ball that we have in the ball chucker. He also will try and jump up at other people at the park if they are carrying a ball chucker. We are trying to reinforce the "sit" before the ball is thrown.
4:00pm  :   We took Jack and Tashi to the Elsternwick park for his last run. There were many dogs there playing fetch. Jack was only interested in his ball and did not socialise much other than just a quick hello to the dogs that came over.
6:30pm  :   Jack lay down by the bed for 15 minutes before getting up and pacing the apartment again. We put him in his crate to calm down and have a proper rest.
