Ninety-five percent of the time I feel that I'm making very little headway with Bilbo's training. However, taking pictures in the park today reminded me that his sit-stay is seriously solid these days. Sadly, his brother emphasized this with his woeful ability to do anything he is told. Buster has somehow escaped any serious training for far too long and it's becoming apparent as his rehab progresses and his frisky side comes out.
Somehow, I still managed to get some nice shots of the boys before the sun went down. We had a delightful stroll through Humboldt Park, one of my favorite places in Chicago.

we see you have the gentle leader - does it ever hurt your pups nose?
ReplyDeleteBuster's never had a problem with it, but he doesn't really pull that hard anymore - we should probably phase it out.
ReplyDeleteBilly used to get sore spots when I used one for him. I actually made a furry cover for the strap and he looked very silly. I switched the harness in the end mainly because it just worked better for him.
Your photos look so great! I love seeing everyone's view of Chicago with dogs, and getting ideas for more places to walk.
