Hello everyone!

This week my family took Winnie on a group puppy walk. This walk is put on every Saturday by the trainer who did Winnie’s group training. We decided to enrol Winnie in this group walk because she LOVES to play with other dogs. However, she doesn’t know how to just be around other dogs without wanting to play. So we thought this would help.

We met at Mount Tolmie and had a brief chance to let Winnie meet all the other dogs. Then the trainer led us on a walk around, ensuring to keep 6 feet away from each other. Unfortunately, Winnie pulled a lot and really just wanted to play with all the other dogs. She did not heel very well because she was incredibly distracted by everything around her. This is why this group walk will be very good for her I believe.

Another dog owner talked to my mom after and mentioned how her dog came the week before and was acting a lot like Winnie. But she said that this week when she came, her dog was so much better!! We hope the same will be true for Winnie next week!

Winnie is still just 5 months old so we are continuing to work on her training with being around other dogs when it’s not play time. Hopefully this group puppy walk will help her improve in that aspect!
