We took Shamas to the Dog Park tonight. He did really well! There were no dogs there when we went in, the dogs that had been there were just leaving due to the mosquito population. I let Shamas off-lead, and he had a good run. Later, a small dog came in, and Shamas greeted it. He was a little unsure, so I did my standard of giving a few seconds and calling him over. He responded and I geve him treats, and we walked around some more. Then a puppy came in. He liked the puppy. It was rambunxious, but is used to the dog park, so it wasn't too rambunxious. They ran around with my son for a bit, and I gave out lots of treats, having them both sit each time.
Shamas' recall was pretty good, though he didnt sit for me- he just came running in from the other side of the field, checked in with an "I'm here!"....and I'm gone again lol. something to work on lol. At least he comes back though-thats a start Considering we don't get much chance to work on Recall, I'm pretty happy with what we have so far. it's a good start. When it was time to go, I called him in and said "Ok, ready to go? Let's go!" and headed to the gate" and he went straight to the gate. Thats when I leashed him. I figure that way I can work on recall without ruining it by ending his fun. I'm calling him in and treating him, then releasing him right now
