On my walk today with Tillie and Poppi, I was working with Little Miss Poppi on keeping her walking on the sidewalk and walking straight. Plus, we were working on Poppi making less contact with Tillie on the walk, doing her little right side bumps. If I keep the leash short and stop her and tell her no repeatedly, she will stop. Tillie doesn't really respond to her, but I know it does irritate her a little. Tillie is a great walker, so she doesn't need any direction. My focus is solely on Poppi while we are walking. Both Poppi and Tillie walk on Easy Walk Harnesses by PetSafe Brand. These harnesses have made a big difference in walking both Poppi and Tillie. Poppi made some progress today, so I let the leash out, and she did a good job walking at a further distance. The next thing we're working on, which is a big work in progress, is sit and stay at picture time. She does not want to stay in place for any length of time at all while she's outside when requested. She will sit and stay inside but not outside. I only get lucky if I get a shot of them together looking at me in one spot. We will continue to work on sit on stay until we get this mastered outside. I got lucky today I got this shot when she stayed for a millisecond.
