Taxing walk in the afternoon, three times around the lake, walking 5 dogs. The first time around was eventful. The dogs were excited, and the time of day was different. A lot of people out and about. We encountered a woman being pulled around the lake by her three Samoyeds. They were out of control from a distance, and as they got closer the ferocity of the frenzy was insane. Now our dogs were adding to the craziness, with pulling, whining and barking. Fortunately we came to a wide spot in the path and we could pull our dogs aside and try to redirect their focus. This was not easy. We went around twice more so that the experience could end on a positive note.
Tip: To redirect focus, you can use Watch Me and issue various commands as found in our FUNdamentals courses
