Nice walk

I have started to muzzle Dylan and Flash when I take them out during the day in the park when I expect dogs I don't know (mornings are fine as I know the dogs). This seems to have improved things greatly, probably because I am a lot calmer and confident, because I know that nothing can happen.

There was one incident on Friday when Dylan went up to a dog (collie), sniffed it as usual, then had a quick pop and just walked off... Not sure what that was about, but it felt like he was just telling the dog off "just in case"... Of course, this is not acceptable, so I am working on this.

Today's walk was great. Dylan responded great, stayed with me when approaching other dogs and was generally calm and relaxed.

I have started mixing a new food into their old one. The new food is called Orijen and they love it. It also seeems to give them a bit more energy. I am thinking of moving them over from the CSJ as Dylan has a little bit of dandruff...
