Jazmyn spent the day with Hubby today, as usual, but he took her to a conservation area for some new socialization! Heber Down Conservation Area didn't know what was coming. She thought he was taking her to training (where she is really reactive), so naturally she began barking and being excited.
She was calm in the car (a rare event lol). She barked and made her entrance but once they got going on the trails, she was really curious. Paul took her off the path and into the creek area. She was really curious about the water, but hesitant. They took a walk around the trails, and came back to the creek. She jumped in really excited, but also shocked!! She was more nervous when the bottom of the creek was sandy, but the rocky smooth bottom was much better. She'd never been in the water before so I think we're going to have a water baby on our hands.
She saw ducks, other dogs, a pond, and climbed a huge set of stairs. She saw a small white dog, barked of course, and the small dog backed off. She really likes sticks. I mean really really likes sticks lol!!
Today was a great day for her, even with her barking at people and dogs. Her curiosity and confidence levels were high and she was really good in the car. Both of us are usually in the car, so it was a good test with just Paul driving. Completely passed out on the way home.
More trips to Heber Downs will follow!!
Oh and a new development, Haz has discovered the couch. Ugh, "sigh" lol
