Boggie 3/7/11

Today was a good pack leader day. I decided it was time to try to walk him without a leash. So instead of letting it drag I wrapped it around his neck. He was very good at following. One time he went ahead and so I turned around. I walked a little and looked back to see if he was following. He wasn't. He was going pee in some grass. I didn't get angry. I didn't scold him. I simply walked up to him and called him. He followed me and we started walking again. I was more careful after that. All I need to do to get him to slow down if he passes me is make a little noise like: "shhh". He responds very well. I stop the noise as soon as he heels. We had a good time. Boggie was very calm. He licked me a lot.
