Wire Fox and Poodle

Today Lola and I took a walk in the park. We got there at around 5.30 pm while it was still light outside. I was surprised when driving up that there were hardly any cars in the parking lot. Usually, especially on the weekend, there are tons of cars parked outside while everyone and their dogs and/or kids are in the park.

So, Lola and I started walking and, for the most part, she wasn’t too bothered by the few people and dogs out on the walking paths. I thought to myself, this is really nice. I kind of wish everyday were like this. We virtually had the 33 acre park to ourselves.

There were a couple of times where she picked up a scent and wanted to pull a bit on the leash. I’m trying to get her out of the habit of doing that. Although she’s improved greatly, I haven’t found a surefire way of getting her to quit pulling. I did some research today on a harness called the Gentle Leader where the leash attaches to the front as opposed to the top of the harness. I’m thinking about buying it and trying it out. Maybe then walking without Lola pulling with truly be “a walk in the park.”
