newsquirrel2.JPGMy mutt had quite the fascination with squirrels today. He was walking just fine off leash at my side (because he was tired from wearing his backpack on a 3-mile run). But he bolted after a squirrel two times at the park. I had to put his leash back on and walk purposely in the wooded area where we were guaranteed to see more squirrels. That way I could give him a quick correction with the leash whenever he even looked at a squirrel. I hope this is enough to teach him not to bolt. Guess I’ll have to wait and see.

    I did giggle at this one Lindsay (with you not at you…lol) as we dont have squirrels they would drive Chels nuts. Although we do have the odd rabbit but Chels hasnt met one yet, and a family of Kangaroos just stopped her in her tracks… Hopefully Ace will get used to it, but not chasing them probably goes against a natural instinct and it may be hard.
