Boxer Insane
I thought I'd share our day yesterday.
My 9-year old daughter and I took Bailey to Petsmart. She's been acting like a maniac and I'm trying to socialize her more and more (Bailey--not my daughter ).
My daughter begged to hold the leash. I told her to stay close to me so I can grab it if I need to. (Bailey is not the best-behaved on leash and will "take off" if she sees something she wants.)
Well, on the way into the store a woman had a very young black lab puppy. Bailey saw the puppy and started pulling and running toward it. My daughter tried her best to hold the leash and keep Bailey from pulling. Bailey got the best of her, and my daughter LET GO OF THE LEASH! :eek:
So Bailey went charging into the store dragging her leash. :o When we got inside, Bailey was standing at the checkout with the clerks and customers wiggling like crazy, looking at us like, "what took you so long?" :eek: The people were laughing when I came in to get her. I was afraid we'd be kicked out of the store before we even got inside. :o
I apologized and picked up her leash. We walked around the store and met a young Siberian Husky. Bailey and the husky sniffed and Bailey immediately "boxed" her ears. They must have played for 5 minutes--tumbling, boxing, rolling around, mouthing each other. What was so funny is they were so quiet! Very unlike Bailey.
I tried out some different training collars --couldn't decide. :(
Anyway, it was a fun trip. Never a dull moment when Bailey's involved!! :D
