I am so proud of Pip and Flyboy. I usually take the dogs to a dog park once or twice a week so that they have another place besides my place to sniff around and play ball. Today when I took them to the Corona dog park so that a friend and I could eat lunch, there was a large male intact Pitbull in the big dog section. We opted to go in the small dog park because all he did was jump at the fence and bark at us. We go in the big dog park if it is empty because there is more room to throw a chuckit ball. When I turned my dogs loose, the other dog ran the entire fence line with his hair up barking and jumping on the fence. My dogs went over and stood at the fence without barking until they realized that he wasn't being friendly. So they trotted away all by themselves without a backwards look and never engaged. I was so proud of them! One of the hardest things to do is train your dog to be calm around a reactive dog. By the time I pulled out my camera, the dog tired of fighting on the fence line and his owner was on the way down to recall him. Thank you, Julie Douglas , for breeding such a level-headed dog as Flyboy. He has always been easy to train!
