Graham Acres

Blink and Judy got a chance to meet a little Boston Terrier at the dog park today.

We went to the dog park for Judy's lesson today. I was told that she doesn't have the greatest recall when she is in a large area. I brought Blink because I wasn't positive that Blink would have a good recall with the distraction of a new fun puppy friend. It ended up that Judy did very well because she was a little nervous being in a strange place off leash and she stayed very close to her owner. She did take a little time to play with Blink and do some small exploration. Blink was her normal self and did me proud when we had an aggressive dog on the other side of the fence. Neither Blink or Judy engaged with him! Then a man with a very well trained dog arrived and played Chuck it on the other side of the fence with his dog off leash. The pair was amazing! Blink ran along the fence line but didn't bark and watched intently. I asked the gentleman if he would play right there so I could see what our dogs would do if they weren't allowed to participate. Neither one of them barked. When distractions like this happen, it gives you a chance to see how far along you are in your dog training. I can't wait for the dog play day this Saturday! Both Judy and Blink are going to be there. 😃
