I'm working on having Tatum pay attention to me. She is so easily distracted by other dogs, and they are more rewarding to her than I am.. but she does get upset when she gets lost at the park. Hopefully she'll learn to check in more! Sounds like it’s working well! I’m working on having Tatum pay attention to me.

Not a smart thing to do. I stay on my toes the entire time. I know nothing escapes my dogs eyes so I have to be super diligent to stay one step ahead (or at least no more than 1 step behind...lol) them!

Gus walks fine on a loose leash - but - as I mentioned, he likes to just stop. We had him at Griffith Park yesterday and he just stopped. When a big dos stops, you have to coax him to come. Sometimes he does and others he looks at me as if I was on drugs. His foster people told me that if he had a middle finger that he would definitely use it! He was right! People will have dogs off-leash all over and are really good for the most part. We haven't run into anyone that has been irresponsible on any of the hiking trails yet.
