We had such a nice day on Saturday! I tried a new training experience- we took a walk a Heritage Park, then relaxed on the benches and watched the world go by...when people would walk by, I distracted Ozzie just a bit, and told him what a GOOD BOY he was with lots of affection and treats when he had a positive reaction. The ONLY people he barked at were 2 people I know who approached-one was in an electric wheelchair, and the other was loud- the combination made him nervous!
And I found a wonderful website- dogsinneedofspace.com ...it explains that dogs like Ozzie are "DINOS", and gave some wonderful tips. I ordered this vest for Ozzie to let folks know that he is shy, and not to come on too strong. I can't wait to use it on our next outing!
