Sunday Max and I went on our first hike in about two years. We had stopped hiking because Max needed to work more on his leash reactivity. So, armed with lots of treats and years of leash reactivity practice, we set out to hike the Leif Erickson trail with about 30 other dogs and their people. We had a wonderful time, hiked five miles and, most importantly had NO leash reactivity.
Max is front and center, and look how close Max is to the big dogs. He greeted so many dogs with a friendly tail wag and a sniff. He even hiked up close to other dogs without any problem. This shows how much progress we made the past two years.
We look forward to many more hikes in the future!
