Put on her leash...she puts on the brakes!!

Ah well, it just brings back memories of getting Emma to walk on a leash. She would whirl and nearly take off like a helicopter when I tried to work with her one-on-one. So Alan would walk Indy and I'd walk Emma and I'd be singing (tune of "follow the yellow brick road"): "follow the great big dog, follow the great big dog, follow, follow, follow, follow, follow the great big dog..." and Emma would cock her little head at me and take off skipping after Indy. It was a blast.

Another video moment to capture!

Oh, I didn't actually said that I TRIED it! It was just a suggestion. When I first started walking Bacca and he balked at the end of the driveway, I think I just dragged him until he got the message!

Actually, I remember now what I actually did. I carried him off the property about 50 feet away and then he would walk just fine. It was just getting him off that was the hard part.

Once he figured out that leaving the property was an o.k. thing, he was fine after that.
