An update from one of our volunteer walkers:
Quote:
I took Pooch for a run today, and after his initial trepidation that I was abducting him (!) he settled into a comfortable trot. I think he could carry on for hours, maybe I should use him as a training partner for my next marathon!
A dog that pulls would be very tiring, but he was very good. And very good with any other dogs we met too, although the pair of Spaniel puppies were a bit overpowering outside the farmhouse. He made sure his tail was in a safe place.
I think Pooch needs a job! As long as he's doing something with someone, he's a happy chappy. He just needs a little praise, and his confidence grows and gives him a purpose. I wish I didn't work in a stuffy office or I'd keep him with me all the time.
