Alaskan SoundHoundz: Dog Walking 101

Sunday, March 15, 2009

Humans have a lot to learn about dog walking. Especially walking three hounds named Molly, Dimond Willow and Gus.

Dog Walking 101 tips for humans
compiled by The Three SoundHoundz:

1. let the dogs lead

2. let the dogs wrestle

3. do not get in the dog's way

4. leashes are for tug-o-war, not leading

5. let us bay as loud as we wish

6. run

7. run faster

8. hurry up

9. if you fall, roll out of our way

10. provide adequate couch space once we're back home

And good luck getting out of the driveway.

Our best wishes to all you dogs for a good walk with your humans!

Molly, Dimond Willow and Gus

Edie and Gus said...: Poor Molly kept getting yanked around by Dimond and Gus. For some reason the new yellow leash was like a fishing lure- they wouldn't stop grabbing it and pulling! Now if only the salmon were so easy to catch...; March 16, 2009 at 7:12 PM
