Okay, this is more of a rant about training... grrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I took Morgan out on his morning walk like usual today, and he was an absolute terror!
He has been doing so well for weeks now. Yesterday was the best behaved walk he's ever had! He was focused on me and working to keep a loose leash as we went around the neighborhood.
Today, though, was a completely different story.
He was yanking and pulling on his lead. He was trying to sprint laps around me. He was trying to chew his leash. He was trying to pick up and eat EVERYTHING laying on the sidewalk that would fit in his mouth. He wouldn't listen to a word I said. None of the training techniques we've been using on walks were working today. He just thought it was all one big joke, or game, or SOMETHING! It took us over half an hour just to get around the block. On a normal day we could have covered half the neighborhood in that amount of time!
*pant pant pant*
Ugh, I know you're only five months old, Morgan, but do you really have to test the limits THAT much???
Okay, I'm done. Hopefully tomorrow he will be behaved again, but if this keeps happening I'm going to need some help!
