a walk in the park.

This wonderful boy is Oberon.. a 16 month old Irish Wolfhound, and most happily, one of my clients. What a great puppy he is, and aside from his size, one of the most gentle beasts one would ever want to meet. I have been helping his people with "walk polite".. because this big boy, without even knowing, does pull.. and goodness is he strong. With a bit of "equipment change" , things have been going well. Today, Obie was going to be in a charitable walk, but his people were a little concerned as to how he might behave.. so they asked if I might come along and help out if needed. I thought the walk sounded fun, and I was happy to help them out, so the little brown dog and I joined the fun. 
Oh, this little brown dog of mine... she certainly knows who she is, and there is very little that she is intimidated by.. including very large puppies. Obie knows this well, and he is very respectful anytime he is around her .... They are really pretty funny together, and many people on the walk made a comment about that...
"don't even look at me".. she tells him

and he doesn't......
I would like his people to bring him to the farm sometime.... I know that he's bigger than Mocha and more times than not, when I work with him... I treat him much like Mocha. It was a beautiful fall day.. the walk was fun and there was a pretty good turn out. The donations all went to the local food pantry, which made it even better.....
I still have some up coming lessons with this big boy, but as you can tell from the smile...

I am looking forward to it...

not so sure what the little brown dog thinks......
