Today I volunteered for an event with the K9 Scooters NW club. It was a pull training course. Basically, you bring your dog and all day we teach you and your dog how to pull. We get them fitted with a harness and you both get to learn about scootering together. It’s usually a really fun and interesting clinic to help with; today was no different. We were short on volunteers so it was just Sue, my mom, and me. But there were only 3 dogs signed up so it worked out perfect.
We got a good chance to work one on one with each dog, and they all did VERY well. Most of the time people bring their out of control, exercise deprived, dogs and say “here, make them run” but today we had 3 very well behaved pooches.
It got pretty warm so we didn’t push the dogs too much, but boy did I get the work out. One of the last stages of the clinic is hooking the dog up to the scooter and having “master” ride the scooter, while we run with the dog. It was a challenge but I seemed to keep up with Quincy, the 2 yr. old black lab, pretty well.
They all did a great job and everyone was excited and eager to learn. It’s always nice to see a person a their dog find an activity that they can have fun with together.
