The other day my Mom and I were walking dogs in the field when all of a sudden a truck pulled into the field and started coming up to us.
This was not something we had planned for—that’s not something people do so it caught us by surprise until we realize it was someone we used to get hay from coming over to say hi.
Talk about a great distraction for the dogs! That’s not something they’ve seen.
Thankfully with their recall training it was easy to call them over to us, ask them to wait and go say hi. They all chilled while we had a conversation. I didn’t put them in an obedience position because I didn’t want to manage that, but they waited nicely.
Grateful that something exciting can happen and it doesn’t have to be chaos, I don’t have to get loud, there’s no cussing or panic.
