Today was a beautiful day- no wind, nice and sunny- so Ozzie and I met a friend and took a long walk at Slater Park. We met at the dog park, and of course Ozzie barked and barked at my friend when he met her. I handed her his leash, she stood calmly so that Ozzie could check her out, and before I knew it Ozzie relaxed enough to take a beautiful walk which he seemed to love! I admit that I haven't walked him nearly enough with the snow and ice but will do so for sure- seeing how happy and self confident he seemed just made my day! Ozzie does need regular, structured exercise- on a treadmill or by taking long walks- to help relieve his anxiety.
