The fear phase after the Goose incident didn’t last long. Kody led me back to the scene of the crime to sniff around and then on a long adventure walk today. He saw two dogs and barked mildly once and really just wanted to watch them. Since the walk he’s been a wild dog wanting [...]

Kody had been doing so well. Every day we would take a little walk to a patch of grass where I would let the leash go and he could just be free to sniff whatever he wanted. I kept a close eye on him and had all sorts of plans in case there was any [...]
