his first walk...

Chris has taken him on a mini walk before but today we went out around the block. We took the usual route...down past the park, by mcdonalds and down the other road. Its pretty busy but a little quiet today since most State employees had the day off.

He did pretty decent for a first walk. I made sure he was leashed on his harness and a second on his collar, for safety's sake. When he realized we were leaving the driveway, he tried to hide behind me but I kept walking. He got scared by one person and a mailbox. He was brave enough though to walk up to it and sniff it, twice! Good job Bryce!!

We walked down by the McDonalds and down the busy road. He was not too afraid though....he sat for me and took treats. I realized that if i just talked to him, he seemed not so worried and moved forward at a better pace. I just let him take in the sights and sounds and we stopped a couple times so he could figure out what was going on. He got scared by a super loud motorcycle and a huge truck. He recovered well though.

Cant wait to see how he reacts after taking him on a regular basis. i dont think he wore himself out but he is sitting quietly with a rawhide now! yeah!!
